True Blue Bay Resort St. George's

So, <br>Went to the masaya markets, makes you really wonder why Canadian Health organizations are so anal retentive about sanitary practices. There are pieces of meat, sitting in blazing heat, with flies all over them, everywhere. You can also buy half dead chickens, vegetarians must just be ******. Started my spanish classes as well. Fun Fact: the word Papaya in Cuba, means vagina... could get very confusing if you happen to be ...

... the captain we would not be joining the return. He was quite nice and understood the situation.<br><br>Back in St. George, we did some shopping in Port and explored the famous spice shops. Dot's plaza had a nice selection of spice and soaps. http://mypages.spiceisle.com/dots/ As well as many street vendors offering baskets with fresh spices. I recommend buying your spices from a ...

... be going down those hills. They were quite, and I quote, quite stiff and zig zagging along the mountains. Everytime the driver would turn, he had to press the car's horn to announce to other cars coming down that he was coming up or vice versa. Often, you wondered how two cars could pass one next to another one on those narrowed roads. The driver, however, kept his cool and knew what he was doing. He reassured us all by ...

... world.<br><br> At Dougaldston Estate, we were shown the various parts of nutmeg (the outer shell, the nutmeg inside, and the mace that lines it - smells great!), how cocoa is processed, the various leaves and their wonderful scents - bay leaves, cinnamon (amazing how the leaves even smell!), and the loofah - which actually comes from a tree! It grows from a tree, and you break the outer layer off for the loofah inside - I had no idea that's how ...

... coastal villages where there was fishing and spice farming, processing and marketting as the main activities. The nature of the houses remained consistent being dictated by the steeply sloping terrain so small houses and narrow winding streets. A bit like a non-tropical version of Greek Islands but the houses here are not quite as solid nor as neat looking. Had a wonderful lunch in a plantation restaurant with a superb view over the jungle hillside all around and a warm ...

... is to say, really looking forward to it, but just trying to pass the time until then as there really isnt anything to do now that they have all gone, more sun i guess! Oh, moved apartment no problem on friday. Also gave the rental car back today. He tried to charge me an extra day coz it was due back yesterday but i told where he could put it as id tried to drop it off at his office but it wasnt open :) Dont think the grenadians are used to the british bollocking, they crumble easy AJG

... happily moving along. Fascinating things tho coz around their body they have a thin continuous fin which ripples for propulsion. Quite sure they werent impressed with the big white yeti hovering over above them! So we got about 45mins to just roam around and have a goosey. I let off a massive burp on the way back to the boat so theres probably a flock of whales on their way to the caribbean looking for a mate. Not sure whales move in flocks...going bhaaaa :S ...

... lasagna topped it all! Dad, u would have loved the plane, 777, enormous!!!! We stopped in antigua for an hour, but werent allowed to get off the plane which was a bit annoying. But the views coming into land were awesome, and easy to see how a hurricane would wipe out the country coz all the houses are made with corregated iron roof. So then it was a quite island hop (in a 777!) over to grenada. Unfortunately it was really cloudy when we got there and the captain announced the ...

... including kids going to school. The Nutmeg bar/grill: great views of St. George's and Grand Anse Beach in the distance. Carib beer and grilled cheese sandwiches. We'd watch the water taxis load up and ferry people in / out of the harbor. Grand Anse Beach: a truly grand beach. Long vistas, soft white sand, shady trees and the front yard for Grenadians. In the mornings and evenings, you could find locals out on the beach. Scrubbing themselves with ...
