June 23rd - the longest day of the year. Not so much a big difference in the amount of daylight when you are in Tobago, because of it's closeness to equator. The days of the year have pretty much the same sunrise/sunset time. In preparation of Jani, we picked flowers to make our wreaths for the midnight festivities from farmland across the road from the hotel. A farmer and his bull were curious as to why we were picking vegetation on his property - but all was well - he had a machete, but since we were harmless, no need to be alarmed.
