#AntiLGBTIQLaw Very sad news from the Carribbean:

#TrinidadAndTobago recriminalizes CONSENSUAL anal #sex. The punishment is up to 5 years of prison.
This is #totalitarian. The state wants to control even the most private aspects of life.
What is punished is anal between man and man, or man and woman. The law comes from the colonial era.
Pathetic. #Anal sex is just sex, the #stigma surrounding it is irrational and #cringe.
The citizens should rise up against this. Everyone, not just #gay men.

Goodbye, Trinidad and Tobago. 
You were wonderful. I hope to visit you again. 
Yesterday, @fleeblewidget and I made the first ever attempt at a geohashing expedition in Trinidad & Tobago, successfully finding a hashpoint in Chase Village in the West of Trinidad!
My partner @fleeblewidget and I met in #Wales (where I lived for a decade) 20+ years ago.
This week, we're enjoying a romantic getaway in #TrinidadAndTobago, 7,000km (and an ocean) of #travel away.
So imagine our surprise when we book a #snorkeling / #turtle-spotting boat trip only to find ourselves aboard the "Cariad" (Welsh for "love" 
), captained by perhaps the #Caribbean's biggest cymruphile!
Such #serendipity makes it feel like a #smallWorld.
(Much) more, plus pictures: https://danq.me/small-world-serendipity
After driving 300 (vertical) metres up a terrifyingly winding road, we find ourself at 'Top if the World', one of Tobago's highest points. Being able to look down the steep sides of this long-extinct volcano to the sea on both sides is quite spectacular, and the Caribbean and Atlantic horizons seem so far away that you can almost believe you're seeing the Earth curve.
My camera fails to do this view justice.
The Nylon Pool is a sandbar in the Buccoo Reef, off the coast of Tobago. Despite the distance from the shore, it's only about waist-deep. Truly mind-boggling.
Came half way around the world to find a surprising boat with a non-English name I understand.
("Cariad" is Welsh for "love")

A couple of hours into our ferry journey, we just got our first glimpse of the island of Tobago, where we'll be staying for the next few days.
Just visited the Logos Hope, an ocean-going, volunteer-staffed floating book fair (run by a Christian charity, but it's not-TOO-religiousy inside, if that's not your jam) that's coincidentally docked for a fortnight right next door to my hotel on Trinidad!
What a strange concept. Fun diversion though.

My 12:55 flight is, according to this departure board, delayed to... 12:55!?
Either it's running a full 24 hours late, or this board is untrustworthy.
