Advance team have arrived!

Hey guys,

Myself (Gillian), Becky and Chris all arrived safely late on Saturday night in TRINIDAD!! (After a very long, and exhausting travel from Glasgow).

We've settled in well, though the mosquitoes are already biting hard :P ...but we're trying our hardest not to scratch! Ouch!

Veronica arrived yesterday (from home aka America), and the rest of the gang arrive late on Thursday night! We're so excited to see them.

We've already managed to get out exploring, and below are some of the amazing little creatures we saw!

Our Sunday night adventure to Lopinot...

Cane toad (Bufo marinus), Lopinot. He jumped onto Beck'y foot, thinking she was a toad!

Rattle-voiced tree frog (Hyla crepitans), Lopinot.

Monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa trinitatis), Lopinot.

Big hairy tarantula (species unknown), Lopinot. Veronica will not be happy to see this wee guy, she's very scared of spiders hehehehe.

LOADS more photos will be posted and we'll blog as much as we can; keeping you all updated with our exciting adventures!

Thanks for following our blog!
