My time of freedom

I had such a great time at Trinidad!
The family where I was hosted was perfect. Mommy, Daddy and two beautiful girls, 1 and 3 years old. At the beginning it was hard to have conversations together, but Quirin from Switzerland helped me out. ( After 3 days living in the same family we figured out that we know each other from the childhood!!😂)
It was impressive to experince how different the mothers treat their children. There is so much more energy. They can share so much love that they almost eat each other but on the other side it's normal to give a decent clab on the ass. These children have to be strong and independent a lot earlier than I and a lot of others in our cultur.

The food I got was a lot and made with much love. Every day a big breakfast and a big dinner. Really nice, but after 2 weeks eating every day rice and beans my stomach got bigger and bigger haha! But I enjoyed to get the meal prepared like from mama at home. 😌
The school was hard but super useful! I had private lessons with a wonderful older cuban women. She didn't speak english, so every explination was in spanish. Like that I learned already a lot.
After 2 weeks I began to speak with the young "trinidadianers" and made some friends.
I took as well salsa lessons which where 3 hours professional course and then just dancing in the clubs, with 4 salsa teachers. 💃🏽
So I was quite included in the life of the locals and enjoyed this different culture a lot.En savoir plus

Baños was great and full of adrenalin! I chose a hostel which had the view over the river and mountains. As I looked out the window I saw that they do bungee jumping from the bridge.
So I knew immediately where to go next! :D
Wow it was really great to jump and as the people where so impressed that I just jumped they offered me a second one but backwards! I really loved it, that feeling when you're standing on the abyss (Abgrund) and then the free fall, just amazing. 😍
After that I staid a while on the bridge, enjoyed the screams from the falling people and talked with the "working" people. They offered me a bike day for 5 Dollars. Normally it costs 5 for the bike plus 20 for the guide. But as it is always the same that when you stay and talk you can have a lot for a lot cheaper. ;-)
After this gain I went to the hot thermal to relax my body after so many adrenalin. But I thought it's more natural. Sadly it was like a swimming pool and fuuuull of people. So I dind't stay for a long time and went on the streets to get food. There I saw a "Swiss Restaurant", it was funny how they designed it. :P
After the big but cheap meal I went exhausted in the bed.
The while next day I spent on the bicycle. 🚲
I saw a lot of nice waterfalls and drove for 20 minutes down a mountain. (Up I got with a car hehehehhe). But hey I took some hard ways which where really slippery and super steep (steil). I smutched the bike a lot. 😄
Then I had to decide if I want to go climbing the next day or continue my travel. I thought it's better to continue and save some money. ;-)En savoir plus
