Sightseeing
Built by Karen's great-great grandfather in 1904, Stollmeyer's Castle, or Castle Killarney as it is now called, is one of what are known as the Magnificent Seven group of heritage buildings around the Queen's Park Savannah. Talk a walking tour, or simply meander your way down the savannah, taking in the beautiful turn of the century buildings while drinking a freshly opened coconut from one of the curbside vendors, a tradition that was started by Karen's great-great grandfather, who would bring his coconuts in donkey carts from Mayaro to POS, to be sold on the side of the street around the savannah, a tradition which endures to this day!
