Bridge over troubled waters

Tobago is just 19 miles off the North East coast of Trinidad. China has bridges that are over 100 miles long and over water about 26 miles long. Louisiana in the USA also has one the same number of miles over water.

We can ask China to build a bridge for us and charge us a toll for about 50 years That’s a short time in the life of a country. Also, we can put a fast train alongside the motorway bridge which could carry heavy goods as well as people.

Our problems will be over, no more boats and no more corruption with that sea bridge, only with the negotiations with Chinese.

We could also pay back for the bridge if we wish, with half of what we are being charged presently for the two boats.

Which reminds me — the Cabo is like a “Slow Boat To China.”
