Mount Saint Benedict, Trinidad

There is beauty in history.

Mount Saint Benedict, also known as Abbey of Our Lady of Exile was founded in October 1912, by an order of Monks.

These pictures were taken on October 2014. Mount Saint Benedict is filled with precious historical value.  The entire compound was well kept and filled with beauty and a peaceful feeling.  The church inside was amazing.  This is a must see place to put on your list.

My words and pictures doesn't do this place justice. Its simply wonderful. 

Chaguaramas Military Museum, Trinidad

There is beauty in history.

Everyday is a great day for exploring Trinidad's many hidden treasures.  

These photos were taken in August 2014 at Chaguaramas Military Museum. Thats the place in Chaguaramas with the huge BWIA plane parked outside. The plane is actually part of the museum.  Outside the museum there are lots of cannons and huge weapons, old military vehicles and old aviation equipment.  Its a very interesting and exciting scenery especially for the kids. Inside the museum is filled with hundreds of artifacts. The museum is built around the theme, "Five hundred years of Military History." This museum encompasses interesting sights and facts in a fun way. 

The Military Museum is perfect for a school field trip and random sightseeing.  

However,  not much people are aware that it exists and as a result of the lack of exposure the place has not been up kept. Since they don't make much money to take care of the place.  

Its sad to see such a place with soo much history heading towards possible extinction.  

Bamboo Cathedral and the walk to the Tracking station, Tucker Valley, Chaguaramas

There is beauty in history. 

Trinidad may be a small island but you'll surely be amazed at the many beautiful hidden/forgotten sights to see.

These pictures were taken in August 2014. My boyfriend and I heard about the Bamboo Cathedral and decided to visit it ourselves, at first we were unsure due to safety reasons but once we got there we saw many visitors like ourselves, families, joggers and cyclists. The walk through the Bamboo Cathedral was amazing, cool breeze, beautiful scenery and peaceful vibes. The walk to the Tracking station was a bit long and slightly intense, there wasn't many persons venturing there so it didn't seem as safe, therefore if you decide to go to the Tracking station go with a group, before it gets dark because theres no lights and walk with lots of water. The walk was worth it, the view was amazing the building and the Tracking station was fun to explore and on the way you can see Macqueripe beach... breathtaking. 

I recommend a stroll through the Bamboo Cathedral for a cute little romantic date idea. That is if you're into nature.
