Tunapuna, Trinidad
Duration of stay: 14 nights
Fact: Pax (meaning 'peace'), is the oldest purpose-built guest house in Trinidad, situated 800 metres above sea-level
1 Catch the last PAX maxi taxi up Mount Saint Benedict (this departs at 6pm)
2 Return to room, deposit the heavy load from the day and go to the communal showers to refresh
3 Back to room - upload digital images and audio files from the day onto laptop (depending on how well-intended you feel, title and tag all documentation with name and date)
4 Meanwhile, plug-in the electric insect deter rant and spray the room with anti-mosquito spray, closing all windows and doors
5 Hear the maid walking down the corridor (the ice jangles in the rum punch like a warning signal), put on something decent and await the welcomed beverage. She will knock on your door
6 Settle down with your 'holiday' book and the rum punch. You will soon become ac costumed to the sound of the gong ('dinner is served') and the cacophony of diners below
7 Drift off, this is the coolest month of the year. A sheet will be sufficient
