My favorite part of this cruise has been
how
these islands are still living the simple life.
Not too 'touristy' yet.
I even envisioned myself moving here.
I doubt that Arnold would be game for that
but
I could see myself in a small place living the simple life here....
If I go missing....look in Grenada!!
I love how there rain forest, fabulous beaches and dry land
in
such a small spanse of space of 350 square miles
This island reminded me of Bali with the narrow mountainous roads.
Our driver buckled up and we were off!
We all asked where our seat belts were??
He said there are none....not a problem...you will be fine!
We toddled up to the high ground to check out where the spices where grew!
There was cocoa drying in the sun.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable
about the medicinal properties of all the different spices
There was cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and bay leaves
It smelled so good!
These men were helping hauling in the nets for Fish Friday in the local village!
WE made our way up to Grande Etang Lake in the bowl of the sleeping volcano
We tried local beers and rum punch!
Every island has a fort
and
it is always the best place to get a perspective of your surroundings.
This is the top of the fort...
It made our ship look pretty tiny in the distance!
This is looking up at the fort.
The sunsets were so calming and beautiful.
Some day... some where....
