A trip out 15th November

I had booked a trip for Trinidad. This was the city highlights and Benedictine Monastery. Boarded the coach to be greeted by our guide Lester- you can hear the dialect already
Off we set and Lester pointed out the various impressive and very colourful houses in the city. He failed to remark on the various bodies lining the pavements - presumably asleep - but you never know !
One very impressive building had just been completed for the performing arts - built by the Chinese- well they make everything now !
We called in at the botanical gardens . Lester said that we would stay for around twenty minutes as as there were a lot of buses we were to make a note of the number - or 'dee number'.
I had a wander around the gardens which were very pretty, and as it was very warm returned to dee air conditioned bus. Eventually all returned except - you guessed - one passenger. Lester waited patiently but became more anxious as time passed. You could see him compiling the missing person report in his head ! - male Caucasian, 5.7 blue hat and glassed. Just then he was spotted in another group and Lester sprang into action and bundled him back on board - after sentencing him to 50 lashes of the cat - no not that cat !
Then up we went to Mount Benedict - a very winding road stopping en route for a photo opportunity including, in the far distance, Venezuela. Onwards to the Monastery. First a stop at at a guest house where as part of their religion they must provide shelter to any traveller. A briefing re St Benedict and then up to the church, back to the guest house for a very nice afternoon tea, and then back to the ship
