Suburbian Escapade 3.

This combination walking and driving trail starts in Iere Village just outside of Princes' Town and ventures to Port-of-Spain, St. Augustine, Curepe, Chaguanas and San Fernando...
The 3.33 km from Iere Village into Princes Town is quite easy and could be done in a couple minutes. The sidewalks are relatively alright but there's a huge problem with dogs left outside of properties along the Naparima-Mayaro Road. This problem can be dealt with by walking with a stick to fend off the dogs.
From Princes Town to Port-of-Spain the drive was done via the Manahambre Road and onto the Naparima-Mayaro Road as far as the Tarouba exchange. Then onto the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway to Mt. Hope. From here to Port-of-Spain.
A brief stop was made in St. Augustine and then onto Curepe. From Curepe the Southern Main Road was used to get to Chaguanas. There's quite a bit of traffic during “peak hours” of the day through Warrenville, Cunupia, and Enterprise. There's always a heavy amount of traffic through the Borough of Chaguanas, so plan accordingly. Chaguanas is quite nice for walking through and for a bit of roadside shopping.
From Chaguanas the Southern Main Road was used to San Fernando. There's always quite a bit of very heavy traffic through Chase Village, Freeport, Couva, California, Claxton Bay and Marabella, so be aware.
From San Fernando the Naparima-Mayaro Road was used to get back to Iere Village...
There are several very interesting stops that one can make along this route. There's the Carlsen Field Mother Temple of the Divine Life Society of Trinidad and Tobago in Chase Village. The site is not that large but worth the stop over. There's also the 85 foot tall Hanuman (हनुमान्) Murti. Located in Carapichaima, Trinidad, this 85-foot murti representing the Hindu deity Hanuman is reputed to be the largest of its kind outside of India. The murti stands on the grounds of the Dattatreya Yoga Centre and Mandir and attracts devotees offering gifts and performing the ritual of pradakshina (circumambulation while uttering the sacred Hanuman mantra). The murti took two years to construct and was consecrated in 2003. This site is quite large and you'd need a bit of time to see all of it and to absorb all that it has to offer. Keep in mind that this is a site of religious significance to Hindus in Trinidad and Tobago so be aware of their nuances. From there one should visit the Siewdass Sadu Temple in the Sea. A well known site of worship for Hindus and a tourist attraction, the Waterloo temple was built by Sewdass Sadhu, an indentured labourer who came to Trinidad in 1907. The story is well-known: Sadhu built his first temple in 1947 on lands owned by the sugar cane company, Tate and Lyle. It was broken down and Sadhu was charged with trespassing and fined £100 or 14 days in prison. Declaring that if he couldn’t build his temple on the land then he would build it in the sea, Sadhu began the work that would realize his dream. With two buckets and an old lady’s bicycle with a carrier at the back, Sadhu began the laborious and painstaking task of building the temple in the sea. Five hundred feet into the quiet waters of the Gulf of Paria, it today continues to stand on the very spot Sadhu first built it, if not in the same condition since repair works were carried out with help from the State and private business in 1994. Over the years, Hindu devotees and tourists alike have made the journey to the Temple-in-the-Sea, once described as the first of its kind in the western world by Dharmacharya Pundit Krishna Maharaj. The Waterloo Cremation Site is also next to the grounds of this Temple. Again this is also a site of religious significance to Hindus in Trinidad and Tobago so again please be aware of their nuances...
