- 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!
I will be bringing more
Great video..u could tell the people living there take pride in their little piece of paradise👍🇹🇹❤💯
They do
I just returned from a 20 day visit where I spontaneously drove throughout our beautiful country. Thank you for evoking the beauty that the Creator has provided and the history that generations have left behind. May we never allow the negative elements to cause to shrink in fear of enjoying Jehovah's creation. Thank you
You are most welcome
Thanks for sharing. I learnt more history about my beautiful country.
You are welcome
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. 😍 🏝 🇹🇹🗽
One side of my family were also Merekins.
Same ancestry mother’s father side. Had no idea until I did an ancestry test.🇹🇹❤️
I never knew of the statue at Rock River Hill. I will certainly check it out on my next trip.
I am happy that I was able to provide the info

Amazing l was born and grew up in Marac village, and to date the 19 Feburary 2022. Is the first time l heard and saw Paradise in La lune Village. Thanks very much for making this video. I will be paying Paradise a visit.
It was my pleasure to have created it.
beautiful way to spend your retirement. I need a group like yours as I enjoy the beach, road trips and exploring but find it difficult recently to gather friends who are up for these pastimes.
Not all friends will be able to do these things. So you may need to rotate among your friends for different trips.
Truly beautiful must visit thank you
You are welcome

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..!
💃🏾❤🇺🇸🦋🌈✝️👍🏽
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.
Nice place
It is indeed.
Nice,nice,😅 very nice.
Thank you
It would of been nice if you had shown our beautiful roads as well especially the one to La Lune
Yes I do know the condition of the road.
🇹🇹
Big up to Mr Loquan
I will tell him
his is like watching a documentary. I wonder if the relevant authorities could removed the St. Peter Statue and place it elsewhere before it falls and breaks into pieces.
Thank you for the compliment. I hope they move the statue.
I want to join but not retired yet. You all seam to find places I never heard of in places I thought I knew. I thought I uses to think Grand Chemir was the only beach Area
Yes there are several beaches in the Moruga area. When you retire you can do the same things that we do.
What's the age to join your retirement group?
@@dogood6848 We have no special age. The various persons have been friends for many years and we simply go out together.
Are there expat communities in Trinidad???. Can you show us some of those, including the prices, rent vs purchase, amenities etc...thanks for your vid...♥️🇺🇸
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. Your request unfortunately is outside the scope of this channel. There are However several real estate websites that will show you housing in Trinidad and provide rental and purchase costs.
Have you ever been to Paradise Beach Retreat in Moruga?
Never.
@@clairepeters4554 You can always add this to your bucket list
hear nah, i lived in trinidad for nine years and i never got anywhere near south trinidad the only place south i been is penal and cedros.
@@trinihammer Unfortunately many people do not explore south Trinidad so I try to showcase it.
@@pointboy12 good for you.
❤
Thanks
Really enjoyable, thank you. Is there a reason why bathing at Moruga is not permitted?
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.
@@pointboy12 thanks for explaining, looks like a great place to visit 🏖
@@zabocathief602 It is
I am 73 wen I was small my grand uncle lived in la rofin n had lands in d hywoods n lived in larofin main road he died n a criminal man took his wife n lived with her for a while n poisoned her n took everything dats hagna we have memorable days there n I used to holiday there times have changed remember d amount of chip chip we used to dig
Yes long ago there would be plenty chip chip
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.
these are similar to the red indians of north america.
The occupation of other peoples land does not pertain only to Trinidad .,,it is a global thing as you already know🤷🏽♀️
Yes there was a land grab by colonizers.
this is called adverse possession it is entirely legal. i enjoyed the video I have family in fifth company have not seen them in
so many years I hope i can find the way maybe there are directions
@@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.
The beach is not really conducive to bathing for a swimmer like me at Paradise.
I believe many would use Paradise for the liming area
Why would you play American music for a Trinidad video?
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.
@@pointboy12 Is there a proper protocol to follow to use Trinidad music?
@@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.
@@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?
@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.
Get rid of those land grabbers. Pretty soon they will be coming with lawyer paper to claim ownership
Yes my friend is working to avoid that.
No but
What is paradise in Trinidad? One location or the whole country because you can’t venture out late and night
burglar bars on every house, you can’t wear jewelry of any kind even the fake ones, so i question this paradise thing?? 500 plus murders in a 1.3 million population 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
As the video shows and very clearly explained there is a specific area of beachfront in Moruga that is called Paradise.
@@pointboy12 thanks for the information because I was like paradise? Where and what part of Trinidad 🇹🇹….. I’m so fed up!!
