VANILLA ICE CREAM!!

Today was our third day at sea since leaving Barbados and, according to the new schedule, I had classes this morning. One sure sign that we are on the last leg of our voyage is that passports have been available for collection all day, in the Reception area.

ST GEORGE’S, GRENADA

Today, we arrived in St. Georges, on the ‘Spice Isle’ of Grenada. It is a beautiful island, famed for its cocoa, bananas, nutmeg and mace. First sighted in 1498 by Christopher Columbus, and named after the Granada in Andalucia, it bounced between the French and British until it was granted independence in 1974. Having done tours in Grenada before, we’ve...
