Palki Authentic Indian Restaurant, San Fernando; Trinidad

What do you do when you're craving authentic Indian food in Trinidad? You head over to Palki's .... duh!? lol... Palki's Restaurant took my breath away last night. Now listen, the last time I had authentic Indian food was in Washington DC, how many years ago and once I left the U.S, I basically kissed having access to that cuisine good bye. But lo and behold, Thanks to my very persistent girlfriend Keisha ,  my girlfriends and I decided to check out the restaurant last night and I must say IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The portions were huge, the staff was friendly and the ambience was superb. I must say I fell in love with the restaurant when I walked in and saw the decor. It was just classy and elegant. But, I fell even harder when  I tasted the food. Ijust have to say Palki's is one of the best kept secrets in South Trinidad, and if ever you are in the San Fernando area and yuh feeling tuh try someting new ... definitely make your way down to Todd Street and check out Palki's Restaurant. Tell dem i send yuh ;D

That's all for now ...see you on my next Adventure! Laters

Zip lining in Chaguaramas and Fetein @ D' Office

I'm literally sitting at my desk nursing a hangover. Thanks to last night's shenanigans ... i'm wearing my shades...indoors ... trying to hide from anything bright and enduring the stares and "ole talk" from my colleagues who want to know ... "Buh wuh going on wid you?". Lol... Let me just say last night's fete/birthday party/reunion was simply (in my Machel voice) E-P-I-C. It's not often me and my classmates (or my Classmates and I for the Grammar Police) come together but when we do ..we ALWAYS have a blast and this weekend was no different. But before i  get into that .....Let's start of with the Ziplining first shall we?

Ziplining at Macqueripe

Macqueripe Beach

Yes, Yes, it's beautiful ain't it ? Let's take it in for a moment . Ok... so I wish I took more pictures of the scenery and the actual building and process we had to go through before actually ziplining, but i had no where to put my phone and I was not about to risk losing, breaking or dropping my Iphone 6. Homie don't play dat... fuh real. But Big ups to Markie for taking pics ...with Keisha's phone! Anyways I thought the staff and management of ZIPIT were remarkably friendly and professional and made sure that we were safe. I was impressed with the technicality of it all and how sanitary they were. I, however, wasn't to pleased signing waivers stating that if anything happened to me while ziplining ... ZIPIT would not be held responsible for my death or injuries ...yeah ..definitely wasn't pleased about that. 

Right outside the Welcome Center

Gears and Ting

All ready to go!!

This is what we had to climb up to get to the zip lines. I was so scared!

But all in all it was an amazing experience and I definitely would do it again , but in a different Country.Oh while we were there they did say that sometime next year they will be having a new line over the beach, so that should be exciting. But all in all the cost for the Ziplining adventure is $140 TTD and with five lines to zip makes it pretty worth it in my opinion.

Fetein @ D'Office

So we all gathered together last night to celebrate Che's birthday and when I said "WE" ...I mean classmates I hadn't seen in years (emphasis on YEARSSSSS) showed up. Man, I'm so glad I didn't duck them like I planned to. Ha! but yes it was a celebration and being with my old classmates was pretty awesome. Here's to an awesome bunch of kids who grew up and never lost contact with each other.

The Birthday Boy

Just a few of the guys

We had way too much Smirnoff at this point

At this point the night had become a blur

Anyways until the next travels...stay safe...stay blessed !!!Laters!!

Breakfast @ The Clifton Hill Beach Resort

What's up peoples???? So as the longest school term "EVA" comes to a close ... myself and a few of my weary colleagues decided to have an informal end of term "Thank God We Survived" brunch/breakfast meeting at the beautiful Clifton Hill Beach Resort. We thought that after months, of cases and clients and police reports and snotty nosed, bold faced ... but also beautiful children, we NEEDED a relaxing, beautiful event in a relaxing, beautiful atmosphere to just simply R-E-L-A-X! So we headed down to the resort which is located on Guapo Beach aka Clifton Hill beach. (Side Note: I could never get used to calling it Guapo beach. I grew up knowing it as Clifton Hill beach and i'mma die calling it Clifton Hill Beach! ) I'm just saying... but anyways, The resort's relaxing atmosphere and breath-taking view did not disappoint, but what did however was the Brunch!

 For TTD $75 ...plus TAX we were given the option of SADA Roti or Fry Bake, pumpkin, bhagi, scrambled egg, saltfish, and cheese. Plus ... we had the option of Fruit Punch, Orange Juice and tea. Are ... you ...serious ? For that option I coulda go by Paskie's or by J's and get the same menu for at least $20 TTD. Come on man ... and to top it off, after we served ourself, like 20 minutes later they closed up shop on us! They came and moved the trays leaving us in awe .. .as to what kinda breakfast brunch/buffet was dis!
I felt disappointed, not only in the food selection, but in how we were left without any kinda dessert option ...not even a pommerac self! Come on man!!! But The Resort is indeed beautiful and i hope you can enjoy the pics below ...until next trip! besos!!!

It's such a beautiful set up and the pool right in the center of the resort is to die for. And while i was there a little birdie told me that soon , visitors will be able to swim in the pool, but there will be a cover charge ...OFF COURSE!
