Alisa and I weathered a ten-minute rainstorm this morning to get to our ferry. Sharon (one of our hosts) continued her kindness by giving Alisa some anti-seasick pills. (Plug for them : Sharon and Wayne at Kiskadee Korner are wonderful. Look it up.)
It was 9am when we reached the port. All of the flights had been sold out, so this was our option.
The boat didn't board until 10am (when it was supposed to be leaving) but we found some seats roughly in the middle of the boat and started off.
Trinidad rises up from the sea into lush green hills. It was über-picturesque.
Then we got into the open ocean in the 20 or so miles that separate the islands, and it got choppy. Thankfully, Alisa was asleep. I had done my picture-taking already (but not on the iPhone, so no pics til later), and now just hunkered down, trying to avoid the sun coming through the window and also trying to nap.
We made it though. Welcome to Paradise, as our cab driver said.
