 “Tobago and its big sister, Trinidad, are the Caribbean's odd couple. Tiny Tobago is relaxed and slow paced. Trinidad is a densely populated, thriving island with a cosmopolitan population and strong regional influences. Trinidad & Tobago are outside the hurricane belt and generally don't experience the severe storms that hit the more northerly islands. Because of Trinidad's southerly location, temperatures are equable year round. Fort St.George is Tobago's best remaining colonial fortification (1779) and is well worth a visit for its history, coastal views and park like grounds. Cannons line the fort's stone walls, and there's a working lighthouse, a shop selling local crafts and a small museum with displays on Amerindian artifacts and Tobago's colonial history.

For accommodation, check into the Half Moon Blue Resorts in Tobago for a peaceful stay.

Held every year, this astounding Carnival continues with its infectious merriment right through to the 20th of February with countless revelers taking to the streets to 'play mas' (short form of masquerade).

Introduced to Trinidad and Tobago by the French in 1783, the Carnival was originally a splendid masquerade enjoyed by the owners of the plantations. The African slaves were not allowed to take part in the festivities of their owners. As time passed, they celebrated their own festival with rituals and folklore. In 1838, when slavery was abolished, they celebrated their freedom with a special Carnival on the streets with new immigrants adding different facets to this mesmerizing event. Taking on religious nuances through the years, the term Carnival stems from the Latin Carne Vale or ‘Farewell to the flesh’. As a period between the holy day of Christmas and the beginning of the strict season of Lenten, the revelers created the ‘baccanal’ or a time to enjoy wine and revelry. The Trinidad and Tobago Carnival is like looking through a kaleidoscope of celebrations with masquerades, competitions, music, wine and food that is enticing, enchanting and exuberant.
