Trinidad was the earliest settled island in the Caribbean. Since first inhabited over 7,000 years ago, it has had significant cultural infusions from Spain, France, Britain, India, China & Africa.
Ornithologists from around the globe flock to Trinidad for its diverse bird population, which showcases over 450 species including the island's only native bird, the large, forest-dwelling Trinidad Piping Guan, found nowhere else in the world.
Trinidad is one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the Caribbean and is listed in the top 66 high-income countries in the world. In the Caribbean, it's the second richest country next to the Bahamas. It's economy is strongly influenced by the petroleum industry.
I made Gary stay on board today. He needs one complete day of rest. Coughing has kept him up every night. Hopefully he'll start to feel better soon.
