SCARBOROUGH, TOBAGO - Port greeting

After our port talk - it seemed the most interesting thing, in this sleepy fishing village of TOBAGO,  was to go to Pigeon Point Beach and get a boat ride out to the Nylon pool  ( which is a large shallow area, in the center of the ocean, with transparent turquoise water. Princess Margaret visited on her honeymoon in 1962, and said the transparent water was like Nylons. Locals claim the water and sand rejuvenate women by 10 years and give men, 10 years more in smarts! A lot of people, including me, rubbed the sands all over their bodies. I found the boat tour on Get your Guide   We also were able to negotiate a van driver from the port, who took us and picked us up later from the port to the beach docking areas.

We left the Great Wall and went to THE MING TOMBS - however we were disappointed to find there was nothing there except the grounds.
