My retired friends and I are off on a road trip to La Lune Village Moruga in Trinidad. We seek to continue to be active in our retirement and one of the ways we do this is by visiting various parts of Trinidad and Tobago. We have learned that for enjoying your retirement in Trinidad you must do things that you like. As we like going to the beach this video includes scenes from some of the beaches in Moruga Trinidad. We use the traditional route to Moruga beginning from Princes Town and in a sense retracing the route used by the Gurahoons when they sailed their canoes from Venezuela to come to Trinidad to trade and to visit their sacred mountains at Anaparima and Mount Tamana. On this journey we will see some of the historical sights in the Moruga district.
On this journey we discovered two beach side facilities that we had not previously known about. Called Fantasea and Paradise these are two rustic beach retreats in La Lune, Moruga Trinidad.
This is a fun light hearted road trip and as the accompaniment we will be going with music that has a trace of old school funk music.

It’s nice to see retirees in Trinidad . Not sitting home doing nothing. But exploring and liming! In North America. Some play golf and other form of entertainment. It’s good to remain active. Ladies play tennis , scrabble and other card games. Looking forward to seeing more adventures!

This is truly an outstanding vlog of my homeland. I love ❤ it. Quaint and pretty surroundings in Moruga area. My maternal grandmother's family is from the Indian Walk areas and our great, great, great grandparents were American slaves from North Carolina who were part of the Merekins group who left America after the 1812 war to settle in T&T in 1815. And my paternal great grandmother was part East Indian and Carib Indian. Shows how diverse Trinbago can be as a beautiful paradise. 😍 🏝 🇹🇹🗽

I want to thank you Trinidadian Retirees for your Videos About my Parants home Country 🇹🇹.., I am Almost Retired in About 5 years more, But I would like to visit Trinidad after I am Retired sometime in the future & Would like very much to Connect with you All when I get There.., I am not defending Columbus, but I Wonder how many Ameri-Indians, were Murderd by Columbus when he Discovered the Island of Trinidad 🇹🇹, & how Much People in Trinidad Still Love and Respects him for it.., Just Asking..! 💃🏾❤🇺🇸🦋🌈✝️👍🏽

@pointboy12 2 года назад

Thank you for the compliments about my videos. History does not show Columbus taking actions that caused the death of Amerindians in Trinidad. However the Spanish colonizers who followed Columbus caused the death of many Amerindians because many of the Amerindians had no natural immunity against the diseases of the Europeans. In addition the Spanish including the Catholic priests overworked the Amerindians, treating some of them like slaves. I believe most Trinidadians have become ambivalent about Columbus, they just do not think about him.

Yes there are communities in Trinidad where expats live. However if you are thinking of communities where there are only expats you will not find those in Trinidad.

Bathing is permitted at LÁnse Mitan Beach. The small sign that is on the beach refers to bathing in the river, which runs on the eastern side of the beach.

The strange thing is "Amerindians" are NOT Indians. They're actually related to the native Mongolian, Siberian & Inuit people. Referring to these people as "Indians" was a mistake made by Christopher Columbus that was never corrected.

In the video I did not refer to Amerindians as Indians.

@@curtismoh I believe the original poster was referring to the Spanish occupation of Trinidad after Columbus. Going to La Line or :'Anse Mitan is fairly simple as you simply follow the Moruga Road to Gran Chemin and then is a right turn to go to La Lune or a left turn to L'Anse Mitan.

@dexterwilson7591 2 года назад

Why would you play American music for a Trinidad video?

@pointboy12 2 года назад

I get this question periodically. When you use Trinidad music the music management companies that work for our Soca Stars, file copyright infringement claims on the video. This has happened with some of my earlier videos. I do not want this to continue happening to my videos and therefore I use music that has been certified as copyright free and also royalty free.

@dexterwilson7591 2 года назад

@@pointboy12 Is there a proper protocol to follow to use Trinidad music?

@pointboy12 2 года назад

@@dexterwilson7591 I am not certain of the exact protocol. On one occasion I contacted the band and made my request and after several weeks I could not get a definitive response. I believe that you would need to contact the artiste and seek their permission. Most importantly however you need them to contact the Content Management Company who handles their music and ensure that the company is aware of your permission to use, assuming that you are seeing to use their music for free.

@dexterwilson7591 2 года назад

@@pointboy12 Well if you didn't follow the proper protocol. They are in their rights to stop you. You make money from these videos? Who can I contact to confirm this?

@peterscotland1507 2 года назад

@pointboy12 I enjoy the video. It is great that you are doing this. I hope you keep on doing it. I would say most TT don't know many corners of their twin islands. But it would be nice in the future to somehow source local musical content. I know TT regulations can be a butt pain. I and most people feel things pertaining to TT should have at least 90% TT content. There is some much local musical variety in TT that can be used. I will inquire about local copyright local to be used on videos like these. Stay strong. Continue the good work. Peace. Blessings.
