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!!

Got to love a place that sells shirts saying " Where the heck is Yap? " Colonia ( population 3,100 ) is the Capital and Harbor town of Yap State ( population 11,600 ) one of four states in the Federated States of Micronesia. We are in the Pacific Ocean or Philippine Sea just north of the equator, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
