What comes after learning about chocolate making? Learning about rum making, of course 😛 The River Antoine Estate was only a five minute drive away. This unique distillery, started in the 18th century, still operates using equipment and processes from over 200 years ago. This means it does not have pasteurization, cultured yeast strains, steam […]
We were originally scheduled for a 11AM tour at Belmont Estate, but we arrived later in the afternoon due to our doctor and pharmacy adventures in the morning. Of course, Nolan’s drone came out at the end and he got some amazing overhead shots.
Several days into our trip, the kids and Neil started exhibiting signs of being sick (fatigue, sore throat, congestion and coughing). This was also when we realized that we had left the covid test kits behind in our frenzy of repacking 5 carry-ons into 2 checked bags the night before our departure. This is after […]
Today was a day of multiple stops. We then visited a farm of Michael, a local who lives off-grid with Billy, his Australian wife, on a farm in the bush. Earlier Neil and Lii Ling had been exploring the garden at our AirBnB when Michael passed by, selling large bags of sorrel. We wanted only […]
Port Royal was founded by the French in 1649. It was conquered by the British in 1762, and they renamed the town “St George’s” in honour of King George III. St George’s is the capital of Grenada and a short drive from our airbnb. We spent a couple of hours exploring the small capital. Some […]
A 45 minute squiggly ride from home is Palm Tree Gardens. It was started as a hobby by Grenadian Lawrence Lambert, who collected plants on his travels and grew them on his 2-acre property. It is reputed to contain over 300 species of plants, and almost 40 types of palms. One fascinating thing was that […]
While we were at Grand Etang Park, we decided to do the hike to visit the Seven Sisters Falls (aka St. Margaret Falls).
We eventually found our way to Grand Etang Natural Park after the detour at Shodoo Falls. The park contains Grand Etang Lake (“Big Pond Lake”), which is a water-filled crater of a 12,000 year old extinct volcano.
On our drive to Grand Etang National Park, we got a bit off course. As we were driving over a bridge looking for a place to turn around, we looked over and spotted a waterfall, with a convenient area to park right beside it. We overhead a tour van driver say to his load of […]
For Christmas, Nolan chipped in with us to purchase a used drone from kijiji. He brought it to Grenada and was keen to try it out. Unfortunately, our airbnb is too close to the airport for him to fly there, so he asked to be taken to Fort Jeudy Point for drone flying.
