"Trinidad-arrived Saturday night.
Pearls 75th Party Sunday night.
We arrived pretty late on saturday night as there were problems in tobago wiuth connecting flights, but luckily managed to get on to the last plane.
Arrived in Trinidad-the heat hits you straight away. Saw my cute little cousins who then begged for me to sleep in their room that night. I didnt get any sleep-one got angry that i was too tired to play hide and seek, that she ordered me off of the bed to sleep on the floor. She then cried for a few more hours before falling asleep-so my other cousin wke up and loudly whispered to me "she's asleep now, you can come on the bed." Waking the other cousin. Then the whole night they somehow seemed to "culminate" around me nearly pushing me off the bed.

In the morning, while just walking round the pool i saw a canadian cousin randomly walking around, i nearly rubgy tackled him to the groud from my excitement. Then another car pulled up and it was tres emotional seeing all the canadians again.

At the party, (which was such a success) kinda spent the whole time lighting candles. The decorations were so good-lights all in the palm trees,a water fountain in the pool, a big white marquee with floating white cloths around it, and then little brown bags with tea candles around the pool. I spent most of the time lighting these and at one point i lit a bag instead of the candle inside and burnt my fingers and hair. Quite painful now. (And its not as retared as it sounds, dont judge)

We met Robert, the gay decorater, tres fabulous. At one point whilst dancing as a family an uninvited arrived and tried dancing with me, so robert whisked me away as he could see i was not impressed.A surprise for the night were the drum players, tassa youth they were called. That was so good, its like you couldnt help but love it-amazing, they played for about 5 minutes about 5 times during the night-not enough. All the invited guests seemed apathetic but all the real family were jumping around the pool-tres good.
The best surprise was the belly dancer, very beautiful-mathew was mesmerised or unimpressed, we couldnt tell. She asked for someone to dance with her near the end of her show but everyone was too shy, then Adriel suddenly started dancing with her, all of us who knew him laughed.I got tired very early- maybe the surreal ness of sitting with my mum singing angels or watching her dance with my aunt to abba was a bit too much to handle- some of the best parts though.
Anielia, Hannah (my cousin) and i eneded the night by playing a carnival song over and over again while dancing around the roundabout in the middle of the apartment compound. It was called "chipping" or something. Ive just woken up after falling asleep on a swinging chair thing in the sun-mmmm. "


This was originally written on Monday. Today is Friday. Went to some club called Zen on Wednesday night, went in V.I.P. Tres terrible. Well i hated it anyway. My sister had some loser tag along with us. He thinks he has a chance with her...eurgh.

We're off to Salybia now. Come back Sunday. Then our last day in Trinidad before Tobago on Tuesday. Its a shame we're leaving from Tobago.

Im not going to see my cousin, who i used to be really close to. On wednesday i heard dissapointment after dissapointment which is maybe why i had such a crap time. Im loving it here though, getting quite close to my cousins and one particular cousin who i used to be extremely close to, but we had previously drifted very far from one another.
Im tired and feel sick but i dont want to leave.

Hannah and i have been singing regina spektor's fidelity, which is making me happy and nervous.

Sick family make me sad. Gotta loves ya.
