 It is a very over cast saturday and with the all clear from the Prime Minster and Chief Medical Officer that it is alright to return to the beaches in this Covid-19 Pandemic  Trini Limers Crew has put on their Runic beach shoes packed the beach gear and journeyed to Mayaro Beach.


We drove North of the Mayaro Junction on the long and peaceful and postcard like coconut tree laden rough hewn asphalt Manzanilla Mayaro road to Ortoire, the tiny village with colourful parlours and houses to find "Dutty's",(next door to the un opened Clean and Brand Spanking New, painted Pink,             Ducky's Ortoire Organic Roast Seafood Limited building).



 We were told we had to wait 1 hour for the order and the couple before us had gotten their order which looked alright with a blushing red lobster and yellow corn on the cob smothered in butter at 1:30 pm after a long wait on the makeshift benches.

The Trini Limers Crew got anxious at all of the flies swarming around the banana leaves that were used to wrap the fish and lobster as it was baking in the outdoor oven and we were triggered to leave.

 The food was well presented but we suggest the stall have a garden type mosquito zapper and we also discovered a slight of hand with the weight and price of the baked fish which is understandable and that would follow us to our next destination.



The Ranch,


Just south of the Mayaro Junction heading south on the Guayaguayare Mayaro Road opposite the Open Bible Church when the aluminum buildings begin to disappear in your rearview mirror and the coconut trees begin to populate your windscreen is a very rustic looking wooden and concrete building that could be a darker version of the little house on the prairie furnished with Indian regalia (Feather and Bollywood Dot) and Carib, Angostura and NUVO Wines for her.

We arrived with a slight appetite still intact and after changing our minds about the baked fish and lobster because the slight of hand is to pay for the weight of the guts of the fish before preparation, we placed our order and in less than 5 minutes we got the Veg appetizers and Fried Shrimp and Fries platters


 and the Pepper Wedges and Pepper Shark

, all meats were dipped in a flour batter and fried following with the drinks Coca Cola and Sprite.

We all agreed that the food tasted good and spicy.

 For dessert the Cheese cake is very good and the staff were very helpful and kind from start until we decided to leave and hit the beach.

On our way back we kept noticing the phenomenon of the roasted fish and grill lobster by little stalls littering Mayaro Village but none were operational at 6:46pm.

Grill on The Hill and Hole in the Wall eatery recommendations

 It is Christmas season and everyone is shopping and Trini Limers Crew headed to what the  girls referred to as their favourite "Hole in the wall" restaurants in Trinidad and Tobago, Grill on The Hill in Marabella is one such place, That is in the northern part of the City of San Fernando on the Southern Main Road just before the Marabella Police Station. We were warmly greeted by a kind Indo -Trinidadian man in a well - dressed in traditional Muslim wear  suit and quickly seated and greeted by a well groomed polite and well spoken Afro -Trinidadian youthful waiter who laid out the cutlery for us all, Mind you Trinidad and Tobago as little islands as it is to the Metropole larger nations can still boast a diversity and interracial harmony found no where else in the world. Grill on the Hill restaurant offers a  diverse mix menu and you will find your favourites here with the exception of a curry .  The idle banter before our long wait, but worth it for the ...
  Savannah Belle Bouquet Company, Upper floor, Gulf City Mall, La Romain. For the young and young at heart couples that may still be liming each other before settling down a recommended spot is the Savannah Belle Bouquet Company for the romantic type there is floral arrangements and perfumed oils for the limer that you are liming at the entrance to the cafe. The cafe it self has a very homely vibe and gives off a welcoming French almost Parisian Patisserie and their cakes are nothing short of enchanting. Each slice is a delicate masterpiece, a symphony of textures and flavors, crafted with the finest ingredients. The sponge is ethereal—light, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, like a whisper of sweetness that lingers.  There's a subtle elegance to every detail: a dusting of powdered sugar that glistens like snow, the gleam of glossy fruit glazes that catch the light, and the gentle curve of a perfectly piped swirl. Each bite is a delicate harmony of flavor—smooth vanilla, t...
