Lopinot TRINIDAD and TOBAGO Road Trip touring beautiful Caribbean nature by JBManCave.com

A road trip to Lopinot, Trinidad, in the Caribbean island of Trinidad which makes up part of the country Trinidad and Tobago. Lopinot has a colorful and sometimes dark history but one thing is for sure the surroundings are breathtaking. In this video, we will start just off the highway, on to Golden Grove Rd, then to the Eastern Main Rd, Arouca and up Lopinot Road. The perspective I offer will make you feel as though you are there with me, in my truck checking everything out. However, that is not all, we will visit the estate of the historic figure for whom Lopinot has been made. Locals say that ghosts roam the area. Will we see any? Set in FULL HD, with world music, maps and historic facts and commentary - there is lots to enjoy.
You will interesting things if you skip around, but if you want to get to the highlights then check the key:

Did any of you see ghosts, feel enchanted or as though someone whispered in your ear while visiting Lopinot? When last were you there?

[@michellebarclay7574]

JB my sister Halceon told me about this channel and now we enjoy watching it together. Although we are far apart. Thank you for bridging the gap!

Peaceful and calming.

[@JBsManCave]

Brian, indeed. Thanks for your input.

[@enavant7063]

WOW!! Absolutely beautiful!! Watched this video on TV here in TO and we felt like we were there in person. You've captured everything from earth to sky, and everything in between. Saw so much more than we last did in 1983. Delightful music; and the road turn-around was absolutely perfect. AAH!! Such lovely memories!! Thank you, and God bless you for bringing us such meaningful memories.

[@JBsManCave]

En Avant, thank you kindly. Glad to bring back some memories, please spread the word.

I love the video so much that I still stay up still 5 am in the morning 🌄 thanks you much ❤️ definitely have to send something

[@JBsManCave]

Carolanne, thank you kindly, what did you love about it?

[@halcexon]

JB, I enjoy your channel so much, and I learn so much, could you please leave those info box a little longer on the screen, it goes to fast and I want to read it because it adds to the beauty of the drive,Thank you .😊💕

[@JBsManCave]

Halceon, glad you like it. What you can do is hit the pause on the video when you see the info box come up. In that way, you can take your time to read it and then unpause to continue the video.

[@prematihassanali6960]

I'm shocked 😲to see such a beautiful place left to become a ruined, 20 plus years ago I went there and it was so special, now to see it in such a deplorable manner is really sad. But the whole villages/ environment has developed so beautiful its nice to see, thanks for taking the time to carry us there through your lens. Blessings

[@JBsManCave]

Thank you kindly for your input and watching.

[@NigelCharles-iy4tx]

I've never been to Lopint except for my wife it was a trill watching your video👍. The only thing that upset her was the main house and the bridge it wasn't maintained properly.

[@JBsManCave]

Nigel, that's great that my video was a thrill for you. It upsets me as well... so much in need of preservation and maintenance and it just isn't happening.

[@JoanDeLandroReid]

Great filming

[@leslierobertson7545]

I'm new to your channel and must say I'm loving your videos and the history you provide of each location.👍

[@adeshmaharaj8900]

JB nice videos. I like to watch them . And it been a long while since I been home . But it crazy to see how very similar Trinidad and Tobago is to Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. Vietnam and most of south Asia. Same roads , houses , agriculture and custom. Most of these countries live boosting bamboo . That is the missing link to being a Trini in south Asia .

[@JBsManCave]

Adesh, yes, you often mention the similarities. Hopefully they do not throw trash everywhere like they do here. May I ask what you are doing in Asia now?

[@soniamerritt5278]

Tfs!

[@JBsManCave]

Sonia, I'll take that as "thanks for sharing", welcome.

[@JBManCave]

I was wondering what tfs was too. 😄

[@patricialewis4938]

You should try walking it it is a nice walk

[@JBsManCave]

Patricia, yes, we met a nice lady that told us she walked it all the time.

[@islandgirl3330]

The video is very long, so I have to watch a little at a time. As a result, you may see a few comments from me. It is a shame that things in the park are left to deteriorate. Another thing I noticed is that front yards are not taken care of very well. It would make the place look so much better if they took care of the landscaping. Thanks so far, I will continue looking.

[@JBsManCave]

Islandgirl, cool, thanks for contributing your comments about Lopinot, Trinidad.

[@adeshmaharaj8900]

JB one thing I noticed in your videos. Every small town you venture into there is no local food court or restaurant for traveling people. The bigger towns have these fast food chain restaurants .that serve commercial food . I only see doubles stand and very few places

[@JBsManCave]

Adesh, this area is remote. There are areas like that i just do not highlight them in my videos because it is not about food but the beauty of the country.

[@prematihassanali6960]

You are an excellent driver, never knew Lopiont road extended so far the historical site. What is that retreat center all about cause I have never heard about.

[@JBsManCave]

Thanks for your input. If you put a timeline I will be able to answer what you are referring to.

[@michellebarclay7574]

JB my sister and I are now enjoying this video, we want to recommend that you leave the information boxes a little lo get on the screen so that we can get the history of the place you are visiting. Sometimes it moves too quickly and we haven't finished reading the information.😀

[@JBsManCave]

Michelle, thanks for taking the time to recommend. What you can do is hit the pause on the video when you see the info box come up. In that way, you can take your time to read it and then unpause to continue the video. Please let me know if that works for you.

[@michellebarclay7574]

@@JBsManCave Its hard to hit the pause when it's more than one person watching in different countries at the same time. Then you lost track of where the other person is in the video.

[@JBsManCave]

Michelle, thanks for explaining. I understand. There are pros and cons to keeping text boxes longer. For instance, while you may get more reading time it is also blocking the view for other people that are not interested in text boxes or who may read faster. To remain in sync if you and your sister are watching together just keep track of the timeline. After pausing you can always tell your sister where you are at in the video.

[@puniyaraghunanan5842]

You are very brave man to take a walk on that bridge...I was wondering do you ever get fruits or vegetables in areas like this that may not be readily available in other parts of the country?

[@JBsManCave]

Puniya, yes, sometimes you get exotic fruits and vegetables at very good prices as well. The trip to Brazil was like that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3ObZH2NgZWUhKc showing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5SwioOmp9WbotE

[@patricialewis4938]

I use to live in surrey vijjage

[@JBsManCave]

Patricia, cool, feel free to tell us more about the area.

[@islandgirl3330]

I have been following a few African KZbinrs and a lot of their roads are not paved. Trinidadians have no idea how lucky they are to have such good roads even in those remote mountain areas. When you stopped and talked about the road lacking barriers, why don't the people who have to use the road to commute daily don't have discussions with the councillor and MP to get barriers built for their safety. It is time for people to get more involved in getting certain things done and not sit and wait for them to be done. Politicians need to look at all these things when they are in office. Thanks for the video.

[@JBsManCave]

Islandgirl, thanks for your input. However, you said, "Trinidadians have no idea how lucky they are to have such good roads..." and "people who have to use the road to commute daily don't have discussions with the councillor and MP to get barriers built for their safety" I recommend not making those statements 'out loud' because you will be the subject of ridicule for those whose vehicles have been destroyed and killed, yes killed, because of the treacherous roads here. Maybe you need to watch more of my videos about issues in this country which are not reflected in road trips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6vIY4CmZpt1b5I

[@islandgirl3330]

@@JBsManCave I will take heed. I have to remember that I am not on my city's social media.

[@adeshmaharaj8900]

Bro I know you don't eat animals . But in Cambodia the have fried snake as street food on the side of the road like roast corn .

[@JBsManCave]

Adesh, that is just FYI stuff? Please don't tell me you eat that.

[@JBManCave]

Always a good ride.

[@JBsManCave]

Thanks for watching.
