 Apart from being a paradise for
sun-worshippers and surfers Tobago has some of the best unspoilt
coral reefs in the world, and divers will find
Tosca
conveniently placed for access to the different diving
locations. Tobago is also home to many species of exotic birds
including the much loved Mot Mot, and as the boundary of the
Grafton bird sanctuary is, literally, fifteen yards from our
front door, and we have lots of daily visitors to our terrace,
’birders’
may be forgiven for thinking they are in heaven!
I have had a number of articles published about our
experiences in Tobago - including one about buying
Tosca, which
I hope you’ll find both amusing & informative; to read, please

Country. Other articles that might interest you include The Emerald Lighter,The Coconut Season, A Simple Explanation, A Man For All Seasons, A Nice Winter Break and a short story, Murder In Tobago..

Log on
to www.mytobago.info, the most
comprehensive site about Tobago you could wish to find, and it
will answer all your questions – and no, Tobago is too far south
to be normally troubled by hurricanes. Flora, which devastated
the island in 1963 was the first in 100 years, though Ivan in
2004 was a close shave!
