Trinidad

Day 275 – Port of Spain, Trinidad

I don’t think that I have ever waited that long to leave an airport before. Because of Carnival, probably, many people were arriving at the same time… for a limited number of immigration counters. And since I had left the aircraft with the last people -I was in the back-, I was in the last of the queue too.

At least my backpack was waiting for me when I went to fetch it. Next was the customs check, going faster but still with a long queue.

I was worried for the person who was waiting for me, since it took nearly two hours -we landed earlier, but not enough to make up for it! But unbeknownst to me, he was himself late, and had waited only half an hour. So it ended well!

I was dropped at my destination, meeting my aunt’s brother and sister-in-law for the first time. They offered me quiet day, with a nice long nap, and I got to meet my extended family: their brothers and sisters and children and grandchildren. I’m not sure what degree of cousins that make us, but it was fun. And very nice.
