1 San Fernando Hill

Details

Location: San Fernando (50 m)      by: Augustin Werner
Area: Trinidad And Tobago      Date: 04 June 2022
Bellavista is an (upper?) middle class neighbourhood in San Fernando. The name Bellavista sounds Italian-ish... but I don't know anything more about it.

It's only after returning from Trinidad that I learned from Wikipedia that Christopher Columbus was probably born Italian (when I thought he was Spanish).

And for good views... When weather conditions are good, the view from nearby San Fernando Hill is truly awesome. -

I also enjoyed the view from this hilltop AirB&B... thinking it's both attractive and fairly representative of Trinidad. Houses painted in bright pastel colours (is that a contradiction?) and the bright ever changing light between the frequent rainshowers this time of the year.

Ciao Augustin. Bellavista is an Italian word which translated means "nice view". In Italy there are hundreds of Bellavista hotels or Bellavista restaurants. Bellavista is also an Italian surname, fairly common.
But Bellavista, although Italian, is also used in Spain and perhaps, in this area of San Fernando, the origin may be Spanish.

I do like these views very much, also because the flora and habitat is special.

Ich hatte keine Vorstellung wie die Wohnhäuser in der Südsee aussehen, außer, dass sie vielleicht bunt sind. Neben den vielen bekannten Ländern und Regionen, die hier gezeigt werden, finde ich solch gänzlich unbekannte Ecken von anderen Enden der Welt ein besonderes Erlebnis beim Anschauen.

...möchte jetzt nicht klugscheissern, aber "Südsee", ist das nicht Südpazifik? Hier sind wir doch in der Karibik... oder irre ich mich?

Auf der Reise las ich mal, dass Trinidad streng genommen nicht zur Karibik gezaehlt werden sollte, so nahe liegt die Insel am Suedamerikanischen Kontinent. Dies mag ein Grund sein, weshalb die Insel kaum je von den beruechtigten Hurricanes heimgesucht und verwuestet wird.
