Tamana Road Trip. Travel smart, save money & HAVE FUN! More treasures of Trinidad.

Our road trips are NOT expensive at all. Consider the fact that we live in a small country and in mere hours you can go from one end of Trinidad to another. That being said, check the vitals in your car, make sure you take along some snacks, sandwiches and HYDRATION and get going! Our curiosity took us to Tamana. Home of bat caves, cocoa and coffee plantations. Located in the Central Range, Tamana is quite fertile and is filled with lots of wildlife and COCOA estates. Many local and some regional chocolatiers often purchase a steady supply of raw cocoa and chocolate from Tamana. Today our casual road trip presented a very enlightening and memorable experience. We're making new memories and YOU are a part them. Enjoy.

Hi Mrs. Ellis, thanks for showcasing Trinidad. I must commend that the love you have for your child. Taking them out on trips and teaching them history. Also teaching them to prepare different dishes and especially good manners ❤ . (Andrew here).

Thank you for taking us along on your journey, and for the information! BTW, a 'bob' used to afford 2 pieces of red mango jam wrapped in parchment paper in the parlor before school in the 70's 😅❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@ellisfoodandmore6008]

Girl. I remember that red mango. Weyyyyy 😅. Plus, when you'd buy four bobs worth of red mango, THEN you'd get it in a small plastic bag, but only 6 pieces though eh. Not 8 as you'd expect. They'd fool you by putting plenty red mango sauce. 😅 😆 🤣 😂

[@user-rl4zc1es5t]

Good morning 🌄. Yep, by the time you reach inside the school, you'd have red lips, tongue, thumb and index finger all red😋 , waiting and lining up at mid morning break to get that cup of milk and 🍪 🙏 then anxiously awaiting lunch time to see what yumminess mammie put in that Wonder Woman lunch kit or brown bag! You might be too young to remember 😊

Hello, my four beautiful girls, thanks for another informative video of your experiences while bringing back so many memories. . Your girls sounded so very excited, they are exceptionally blessed and fortunate to have a Mother like you. Visiting the Lord Krishna ISKCON is itself a tremendous blessing. Lord Krishna wears a peacock feather in his Mukut (head dress) so there are always Peacock and his favorite food was Dahi, so sometimes there are also Cows. The journey is like I am sitting right there with you all. 🙏🙏❤❤❤❤I love you all, be safe and stay blessed.
