There were pirates on Tobago. Yesterday I saw lovely Pirates Bay near Charloteville. Today I went first to the Fort Benneth on the north coast of Tobago. Not much left there regarding walls but it is lovely spot with a great view of the Black Rock and Caribbean Sea. Three old cannons are still there and a lot of flowers around.
There were many little forts protecting the Tobago Island against the pirates in the colonial times. Few kilometers farther east I found fort James – the firts built on the island. It has connection to Poland: first settlers on Tobago at the end of 17th century were from Courland – dependency of Poland…
In the after noon two nice ladies from Trinidad took me with their cat to the Englishmen’s Bay. There is little paradise beach listed by the Discovery Travel cannel on the list of the 10 top beaches of the world. It is really nice. We were swimming there enjoying the scenery… Great day!
