With my diving exam­in­a­tion this morn­ing I man­aged to put the wet suit on the wrong way and des­troy a pair of flip­pers before run­ning out of air once again. After an explor­a­tion of Trin­idad town the even­ing ended once again in the Casa de la Musica.

Our time in Trin­idad con­tin­ued with two fur­ther dives out on the boat and a hast­ily con­struc­ted late sea­food lunch. Feel­ing slightly queasy I excused myself from the evening’s fest­iv­it­ies and relaxed in the casa.

With a bru­tal hangover, Matt man­aged to dress him­self enough to hit the beach and lounge in the sun until the after­noon when I had my first diving les­son in the local hotel pool. Meet­ing up with some impossibly beau­ti­ful Europeans later, we ended the night with drinks in Casa de la Musica.
