As a trini, during carnival we get a lot of tourists. You should come during that time its usually around February and March. Its fun

[@kamkarter8821]

@@Non-Existent999 it’s on my bucket list to go to carnival some day

[@trinidadnow]

@@kamkarter8821the carnival season is safe, the police keeps the country safe for those 3 days only so it is safe. It is also made easier to maintain law and order in the Capital since most locals do not participate in Carnival activities and actually avoid it. The festival is now scanty and pales in comparison to the days when a band was 50,000 members to just 2000 or 3000 today. The reason is CRIME. If you live in Trinidad the “carnival alternative “ is where locals spend their money. Flights are overbooked with locals leaving the country for carnival. I have participated in Carnival for over 40 years and I have worked in the industry and I have seen the dwindling support and participation first hand. Not trying to discourage you, just telling you what to expect.

In Trinidad and Tobago you can also get your roti separate from the sauce it depends on how you want it so it does not have to be wrapped. It’s just like in India with little tweeks in flavor.

[@brent460]

If it's not wrapped, it's not roti. It would be "buss-up-shot" as we like to call it, we not we tbh I don't but all my family and neighbors do.

There's hundreds or probably thousands of roti shops in Trinidad 🇹🇹, roti without channa, is on heard of, you guys needed to check out the more famous roti restaurants, where you get a wide variety, also, we do serve it with the skin separated too. So the wrap roti is call dalparie and the unwrapped is called parrata (buss up shot) btw pronunciation is a lil off, don't say rot-ee say ro-tee, so it's ro, sounds like "no" pronouncing 'o' , put it together you get ro-ti, glad you guys are here, been watching you over 3 years now, welcome and enjoy, be sure to check out D Avenue, or and our number 1 music 🎶 is Soca, where the home of that genre

Trindad is fine. The bad areas are in the hood and it's amongst the gangs there. Other than that they won't really bother you. If you had more time you could of visited the Caroni swamp tour. You will love Tobago. you can walk from the airport to the beach haha the island is small but relaxing . I recommend in tobago you try the "Curry Crab and dumplings" - I am from there

[@imacarguy4065]

It seems like you haven't been paying attention to the news and the ridiculous amount of home invasions and recent extortions. And don't come with the "don't bad mouth the country" BS! I am tired of this complacency and delusion. This could be the best country in the Caribbean but we refuse to acknowledge the clear faults. We have educated people, great beaches and good food. We have good music. We have good manufacturing experience. We can be a tourism and industry hot spot. Instead, people are leaving as soon as they can. And that was before the relatively recent spike in home invasions and extortions.

[@imacarguy4065]

Tobagonian too? Bro, your island was one of the safest in the Caribbean. Now it has ridiculous amount of gangs and killings. That will kill tourism.

Welcome to T&T 🇹🇹 Chris and Carol🤗. The Osmo looked really crisp at night👍.Just a bit on Trinidad's coastal history, beaches/bays tend to be murky during the heavy rainy season due to the orinoco river in Venezuela that washes up around Trinidad's coasts . in the dry season/cruise ship season nov-june) its a lot clearer and Tobago's waters are generally nicer and are not affected by it. nylon pool in Tobago is an awesome tour to check out

[@JumpingPlaces]

Trinidad was once connected to mainland Venezuela many many centuries ago. Separated and became an island. That's why the two countries share the same flora and fauna.

Great video Chris and Carol, when you were eating at the beach and spoke of the bread the dog said "the bread is rubbish!" 😂. The sand flies must be similiar to the midges in Scotland, The midgies come out June to September but not every day. You can get midge repellant called 'Smidge' or 'Skin so soft' plus there's many more. I've never heard of Roti....I've never seen it on menu's in Indian restaurants in Glasgow.

[@JumpingPlaces]

[@sgopie86]

They probably didn't give you trinidadian pepper sauce to make your Roti Spicy hot because they must have thought you all couldn't handle the heat. But you need to have it with pepper sauce or kuchela. Amchar/Anchar as well. Also, your Bake and shark was missing all the different sauces to go with it. Those condiments elevate the flavour tremendously. You need to tour Trinidad with a local who will take you to the best places, especially for food.
