Part X - Grenada
Under Construction
Introduction
Click the small picture to get it enlarged
Arriving in St. George of the island of Grenada
A Grenada's welcome bill board
A Grenada's welcome tyres at the road
Yes, it looks like a beautiful island
Driving through the country side
until we reach the first tourist spot
The Concord Falls
with a nice pool
The wealth of Grenada is not cocoa
but nutmegs
The fresh nutmeg is covered
with several layers
The products of Grenada
are versatile
The nutmeg factory does not look that nice
but tourists are coming in droves
This guy explains the process
until the nutmegs finally land here
But before a lot of manual work has to be done
with an archaic installation
These nutmegs are already processed
and ready to be sacked
The sacks are labeled
with a template like this
Then we pass many nutmeg trees
with nutmegs almost ripe
We also passed many banana plantations
Bananas can ripe faster if covered with plastic bags?
Driving through a dense lush green jungle
This car did get stuck in the jungle
Then we reached the Grand Etang Tropical Rainforest
First with the crater lake
Read it if you want to know more
And buy some fruits from these ladies
You must eat fruits to stay healthy
You must also try some of these remedies
Do you want to try all these liquors to get drunk?
I really did try 10 different liquors for the price of one
You could do this at the Clarke's Court
Grenada's number one distillery
You can ride a train like this
if you are now too tired to walk
Instead of climbing up to Fort George
you better take this train
Many streets
are pretty steep
But from above you have a nice view to Fort George
and also to our ship the "Summit"
Also these churches
are up the hill
This is a beautiful place
and this is a nice place to have a drink
These are typical colonial houses
Not Caribbean style
But this house looks like a house in New Orleans
Anyway, now I had to go down back to my ship
