Merry Christmas (running late...)

I am really running late on my blog. Christmas is come and gone. I am still posting pics from my last visit to Tobago when I have already made another visit during this holiday.

Holidays here for my family get to be a bit depressing - all of us, especially the kids, miss the extended family in Ecuador. On Christmas Eve, we were sitting in our new apartment, where we have still not finished moving our stuff, when our friend, the Doc, called us to say that he had rented an apartment in the Hotel Johnston on Crown Point in Tobago and would we like to join him and another friend there for the weekend? We jumped at the chance to escape the depressing loneliness and by the afternoon of next day, 25th of December, we were there.

Johnston hotel shares the premises with the Crown Point hotel, about three minutes walking distance from the airport. From the outside they look kind of run down but on the inside they have magnificient open spaces with walkways threading about green manicured lawns dotted with pine trees. In addition, they allow direct access to the Store Bay beach, one of the main attractions in Tobago.

We enjoyed sunset from the Store Bay, visited the private Coco Reef beach (more on which later) and revisited the Pigeon Point beach during our two days' stay this time.
