Photo of not so excellent city centre

The centre of Port of Spain mey not be completely lacking in good qualities, but I would argue that this statement is a bit of a stretch.

There's a set route from the cruise terminal to Independence Street and the cathedral that we are clearly meant to follow. Not only are there signs and markings everywhere. To avoid lost tourists there are actually people posted on almost every street corner to make sure we don't head into certain doom in the neighbouring streets.

Eventually we manage to dodge the security and head into the danger zone. Nothing happens.

Sentrum av Port of Spain er kanskje ikke helt uten positive sider, men dette kjøpesenteret overdriver kanskje litt.

For at vi ikke skal gå oss vill ut i elendigheten har det blitt tydelig merket en rute vi skal følge fra cruiseterminalen til paradegata og en katedral i sentrum. I tillegg er det plassert ut folk fra turistbyrået på så godt som hvert gatehjørne, for å hindre oss i å gå dit vi har lyst.

Til slutt klarer vi å snike oss rundt sikkerhetsministeriet. Og det går helt fint.
