Now I know what a ‘tap tap’ is!!! I had no idea before reading this book.
Tap Taps To Trinidad, by Zenga Longmore, is a quirky little book that tells the tales of a woman’s (largely solo) experiences of hopping around a number of caribbean islands, somewhat naively at times. She seems to have a habit of getting into cars with men she doesn’t know. Some might say she’s brave! I wouldn’t.
I’d say this is a tale to read in longer sittings, so that you can get into the flow of the book – it’s not really one for dipping in out of on the daily commute, especially if you’re trying to get used to the dialect.
This book has a way of really drawing you into the scenery and characters, like you’re watching it on a screen – in fact, I think this would make an amazing film or drama series, full of vibrant colour, culture, sounds, funny stories and intriguing personalities.

A well-read book which caught my eye.
How come the bottle is still uncorked?

It’s still unopened – like many of my liquid souvenirs! They’ll be put to good use eventually!!

“Liquid souvenirs”? I like the combination of words. 🙂

My big question is did you try the rum? Nowadays one sip of hard liquor would do it for me 🙂 Isn’t it fun to find something quirky that you didn’t know previously!

That bottle is still unopened from duty free, I’m a light weight when it comes to drinking – but the odd rum punch never goes a miss 🍹😊

I’m very much a light weight when it comes to strong drinks. That bottle of rum was the smallest one they had in duty free on holiday in Jamaica lol, it looks lovely as a souvenir, but I’m sure it will make a nice fruity rum punch, all in good time. x
