Day 12 Jan 15, 2016 ~ Scarborough, Tobago on the Atlantic Ocean Exploration Segment

The sounds of calypso music is in the air.  Scarborough is the largest town of the island and the capitol. The Island of Tobago and the fifth-most-populous in Trinidad and Tobago.  17,000 . In Western Tobago, at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean, Scarborough is the economic and cultural center of the region of Tobago.  The town is dominated by Fort King George an 18th century fortification named after King Goerge 111.  So to get our 6 miles in today we decided to climb up to the top.

This is a where they store there water.  Called a Bell Tank.  Underground water cistern existed at least as early as 1799. Capacity was 35,000 gallons.  Main water for the fort.

yes we walked 5 miles straight up that's why all the sweat on Bobby's shirt.  Just above his wrist is our ship

Adorable friendly school kids on our way down

pretty flowers.  After our walk we walked a bit into the town area.  Not really much to see.  You really need to hire a cab for 50.00 and see the island.  We decided to get some exercise.  The climate here is tropical.  Two Seasons annually.  The dry season for the first six months of the year and the rainy season is the second half of the year.
