It's not particularly convenient for us since we're well over on the 'other' side of the hill but it's still a place we try to get to every few trips or so. The only thing it lacks, IMHO, is the ambiance factor but the trade-off last night was a great one, for sure.
*************
Edited to add:
And here's a bit of an aside - a few trips back but still during another carnival season, we spent an evening at Chesterfields having dinner with friends. When it was time to return to the Towers we said our goodnights and went our separate ways. We were surprised at the amount of traffic given the time and location but then it dawned on us - it was probably the last night of Carnival and they were to burn King Momo the last night, which explained everything.
In the confusion of the moment we lefted when we should have righted - directly into an incredible sea of stopped traffic. And then we saw it way up ahead - King Momo had been set afire. We couldn't believe the size of this burning effigy but we just tossed it up as a really big fire in celebration of a really big island moment.
And then it dawned on us, the last Carnival night and the burning would actually be the next night and what we were witnessing in real time was the dump burning, but this time from an up close and personal vantage point. OMG!!
King Momo is a big island deal - but not that big....... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
