Wed Our last full day we booked a DIY tour, two of us and a driver headed around the island visiting a nutmeg processing plant, several views, a rum distillery and a couple of lakes. It was good to have a guide telling us the history of the area and showing us the fauna and flora. I was moved by the story of the original Grenadian Caribbean’s. After the Europeans invaded and enslaved them in plantations many died. The few remaining survivors escaped and headed to a town, after a while they decided to jump to their deaths rather than live [View Full Entry]

Mon We dived again in the morning; this time our first dive was a 30m wreck where the highlight was a seahorse. Our second dive was a shallow reef which was lovely. We came back had lunch and spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach. Tues After breakfast I left Mary on the beach and headed to the town in a taxi which dropped me at Fort George. I took several photos and went down the hill to the museum which was tiny and had little on display. I looked at a few shops overheated lots as I walked along the [View Full Entry]

Sat Another early start, following breakfast we headed out to the town again, hoping to be early enough to avoid the mad traffic and visit the local market. We drove to near the fish market and saw parking so entered only to be advised that we were in the bus parking area and told where the car park was. Some interesting manoeuvring later we had parked behind the fish market and headed to the centre of the town. The market was great, fruit and veg, of spices and some touristy tut! We walked for a while and got hot (again!) so [View Full Entry]

Very easy drive and parking. I arrived at the airport before Mary so had to wait for a while. After checking in and going through security we bumped into half the dive club in the lounge area, they were of to Sharm el Shekh for a week, we chatted to a few people before going to board our plane which was leaving early due to the need [View Full Entry]
