Caroni Swamp


This afternoon, we went to Caroni Swamp where we could observe Trinidad's national bird : the SCARLET IBIS, which are supposed to look like that :

But we only saw them from afar from our little boat, they looked like flowers:

(On était bien plus nombreux que ça dans le bateau)

And contrary to what the picture shows, it was on a rainy day, so, it was quite complicated. Thankfully, the guide had prepared a tarpaulin so we could cover ourselves with it.
We saw a curled up boa constrictor and a baby caiman which made most of us scream out in fear.
When we returned ashore, it was already dark out since the Sun goes down faster in Trinidad.
