End of the road

I drove out past Maracas Beach and just kept driving along the North Coast Road that turns into Paria Main Rd......until the road ran out of road.
It is a pretty (and windy) drive. You drive through small communities along the coast and through bamboo 'forests'. It is a long way from the 8 ft long bamboo 'poles' we used to set up spectator fence at Lake Louise. At the end of the road, there is one of two spring bridges in Trinidad. It crosses the Marianne River. You can continue past the bridge on a hike.

On the drive back through Blanchisseuese (french for 'washer woman'), there is fisherman's depot. The fishermen had landed their boats for the day. Ok, the pink boat was still out there. This is a very lush country (especially in the rainy season), things will grow anywhere.
