Friday – One Last Beach Walk

We’re starting to wind down and wear out. Saturday will be our last full day in Trinidad before we begin the three-day trek homeward. So tomorrow (Saturday) will likely be the last blog post.

Friday’s weather was just about perfect for deck viewing, so that’s pretty much what we did. We did go back to the Seascape Restaurant for one last breakfast.

Then it was pretty much going to be a veg day at home. However, Elaine decided to walk down to the beach below us. It’s a steep climb down and even steeper back up (or so it feels like). But off she went. After she left, I decided to join her. Tough on the knees going down; tough on the lungs coming back up. But we both made it. The beach was always known as Indian Beach until that became politically incorrect. So it was renamed Old Home Beach. Everyone still calls it Indian Beach. From the beach you can catch two glimpses of our Sea Cliff House way up above.

The pictures from the beach walk.

The rest of the day was spent on the deck. Around cocktail hour a whole bunch of pelicans landed on the beach and on the rocks. What do you officially call a whole bunch of pelicans? A school? A bevy? A flock? Do you know? Answer after the pictures of the pelicans and some other birds on the beach (taken from the deck way above)..

So, a bunch of pelicans can be called a squadron, a pod, a pouch or a scoop of pelicans. It says so here.

And some final snaps taken from the deck.

One final picture. This was taken with my sunglass lens held over the lens of the camera.
