Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2017 (#28)

Published every year since 1991, Discover T&T helps readers discover where to stay, dine, lime, party, and shop; and what to see (including the islands’ best sites) and experience (festivals, arts and culture, sports, and eco escapes), in both islands. There’s also a national calendar of events; info on getting here and getting around; tips for safe and sustainable travel; T&T history and society in a nutshell, maps; and more. For the second edition in the row, the magazine features a distinctive dual-cover design, with one cover for each island — Trinidad's Gasparee Caves (captured by Stephen Reyes) and a leatherback turtle hatchling in Tobago (captured by Giancarlo Lalsingh). Discover T&T is aimed at local and international explorers planning getaways to the islands — whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday.

Plymouth<br />

Take in the Courlander Monument, a striking<br />

sculpture commemorating 17th-century<br />

settlers from Courland; Fort James; and the<br />

Mystery Tombstone with its cryptic inscription:<br />

“She was a mother without knowing it, and<br />

a wife without letting her husband know it, except<br />

by her kind indulgences to him.”<br />

Fort King George & the<br />

<strong>Tobago</strong> Museum<br />

Formerly a critical point of defence, the fort<br />

offers a stunning view of the harbour, capital,<br />

and Windward coast from 140m (460ft) above<br />

sea level. The site includes a military cemetery,<br />

the old chapel and cellblock, and the <strong>Tobago</strong><br />

Museum, which displays Amerindian artefacts,<br />

colonial relics, military memorabilia, and fossils<br />

from <strong>Tobago</strong>’s distant past. Open M–F, 9am–<br />

4pm, 639-3970<br />

If you like forts, here are two more:<br />

n Fort Milford: built in 1777, a perfect spot<br />

for watching the sun dip below the horizon<br />

on the Caribbean coast<br />

n Fort Bennett: look out over Stonehaven<br />

Bay from a little pavilion.<br />
