Tobago, Fri, June 3, 2016

Our first full day in Tobago. We hiked around the Inn, then took a ride in a glass-bottomed boat to Little Tobago Island (also called Bird of Paradise Island because Birds of Paradise had once lived there). In the evening, a few of us walked (up and) down to the ruins of the old sugar cane mill in Speyside.
