Village Hotel 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 ...

... was a favourite with the new &#8216;jet set&#8217;. The Calabash is built in a crescent shape overlooking extensive lawns and a number a palm trees down to the beach and Caribbean Sea, the rooms are well appointed suites, many with ...

... get around the marina and I see this giant 2 story Party Boat. Sure, it was a Motorized catamaran...but not a Sail equipped Catamaran!!! At this point, what do you do....we got on the boat and thought we'd make the most of it. There was a nice Steel Band and the crew was nice enough, but that was where the good eneded. The sail over to Morne Rouge beach was crazy rough, especially if ...

... the island to Greenville and then on to Grand Etang Lake in Grand Etang National Park passing along the way verdant grove of bananas, cocoa, nutmeg and other spices. Once there, we enjoyed a complimentary beverage while taking the views of the lake which is located in the crater of an extinct volcano. Cooool!<br><br>Along the way, we also stopped at a small fishermen's village near the ocean to admire the deep blue ocean ...

... in an extinct volcano crater. They had a cute information centre there as well as some vendors. We picked up a few local spices - saffron, curry, chili powder, and cocoa beans for some Grenadian hot chocolate. Poolie also bought me a Grenada dark chocolate bar and some postcards.<br><br> From there, a quick drive to Annandale Falls, a beautiful cascading waterfall amongst lush green plants and trees. There were some local men there who dive ...

... Bare uzsisakau arbatos, desraini ir romo 50 g. Atrodo, kad padeda virskinimui. Aerouoste dingsta elektra. I tualeta nunesa laikinas lempas, registruoja rasydami ant lapo. Iki isskridimo taip ir neatsirado elektra. Grenada turi du panasumus su Lietuva. Pirmas tas, kad ju veliava irgi geltona, zalia, raudona. Antras tas, kad ju prezidentas irgi neturi asmeninio lektuvo. Taigi skrendame tame paciame lektuve kartu. As rimtai ...

... and some steeply sloping land areas. This has resulted in a very compact town with very narrow, winding streets and small building plots. The older part of town is very poor-looking with a market flavour predominating and then in the area immediately around there are quite a few fairly upmarket homes in the hillside. The contrasts are quite stark and accentuated by the presence of a large flotilla of yachts and ...

... is being a lot more cautious now. Then it was the wrath of the *****, Emily. We had seen reports on the news about 2 days before showing a tropical storm looming off the east coast many miles away and it was projected to hit the windward island (of which grenada is the most southern). So we followed it carefully. It was confusing getting different reports from different sources. The news kept saying it was a tropical storm, likely to turn into a hurricane, but ...

... moisture comes into the apartment coz there are no windows, just holes with mozzy nets covering them up. Its good tho to let a breeze through. So the first day was a bit of a right-off and i was sort of wondering if it was going to be like this all the time. But since then its been glorious sunshine, with the odd shower here and there. I found it quite lonely being on my own for the first few days, but i would say thats the only downside. Had a wander along 'my' beach the next ...

... Beach French Creole restaurant up the beach: a pink and lavender beach place that served simply delicious shrimp, potatoes, among old trees and delicate twinkle lights. A favorite place to walk at sunset. It made me feel at home to smell the good stuff cooking and hear the pots/pans in the kitchen, to hear the tv playing softly in the background and the waves rolling in and watch the candles flicker in the breeze. Delightful. Dolphin watching ...
