St. George's, GRENADA
We indulged in GRENADA with two full Beach days! We all needed some lazy R&R time. Day 1, we enjoyed the bustle of beach area of Gran Anse, where we ran into many others from the ship. On the 2nd day we took our van drivers recommendation, and enjoyed a secluded cove at Morne Rouge Beach. Here we saw no other ship residents and just chilled watching crabs run sideways, had a local vendor make me a custom ankle bracelet ( with a 3 year guarantee!), played Cribbage, swam, sunned, chatted and laughed! Paradise Found! Rounded the day off with a Pyramid at sunset!!
Fun gang L to R in group picture: Bosco, Marty, Me, Ben, Callie and Scott

View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
