Trinidad Cineplex

Caribbean Cinemas South Park

Located Tarouba Link Road (Opposite Toyota), is South's newest Cineplex with twelve screens.

The most difficult aspect of going to the cinema with kids of varying ages is deciding on the movie.

Ariah chose Minions :)

My niece and her friend, Shania and Shail wanted to see The Vatican Tapes.....

And we're inside now.

Choosing snacks is the easy part.  

Great, no lines to enter the cinema!

Doubles in Debe

Barra Plaza, Debe

Whether its doubles, alloo pies, amchar, sahena, pholourie or kachourie, Debe is the place to find it.

Doubles with medium pepper..... 

Any day is a good day take a family drive and what better place to go than for doubles in Debe? Krishna's, Hassanali's, Hosein's and Singh's have all been selling Indian delicacies in Debe for over 20 years.

I prefer to shop at Krishna's.

The late Sundar Popo (born Sunilal Popo Bahora, November 1943 in Barrackpore) was a  musician from Trinidad and Tobago who popularized chutney music in the 1970s.  The Sundar Popo's Statue was installed in the heart of Debe on 29 May 2011.

Manzanilla Beach

Trinidad Beach

Manzanilla Beach

Manzanilla Beach is located on the east coast of Trinidad.  It is one of the quieter and less busy beach.  Maybe that's why the local leatherback sea turtles choose this beach as their hatching site :).

It's about one and a half hour drive to get to Manzanilla beach from San Fernando.

The new 800 Feet Manzanilla Sea Wall was opened July 26 2015.

The Manzanilla Beach Facility is scheduled to reopen on 7 August 2015.

The water looks so inviting!...    

Fun Station

Arcade

Fun Station

Fun Station is another family game room located within minutes of Playdium.  A mini carousel, convoy train, bumper cars and a mini bowling alley are just a few of the things you can do at Fun Station.

Even Mickey Mouse gets a ride!

Games for the young and young at heart.............

For parents from South Trinidad with a hectic schedule (like me) Fun Station is really convenient, no need to go Movie Towne in Invaders Bay for a carousel ride.

Playdium

Arcade

Playdium

Lets go to Playdium, a family game room with an authentic buffet style restaurant that's both alcohol and smoke free.  Playdium is located at South Trunk Road, La Romain (next to Republic Bank).

They've got bumper cars too :)  I'm sure Ariah (my daughter) would love this.

Admission is free and tokens are available for purchase, they've got a promotion running "2 tokens  for the price of 1".
