Grenada
Jan Buker
Grenada, the Spice Island, is a jewel in the sea. Its harbor is said to be
one of the most beautiful in the world, and I’m sure that’s true. There is
a rich history there, as well as all over the Caribbean, but part of this
island’s history includes the U.S. liberation as the Cubans were gaining a
stronghold there. There are signs everywhere thanking the U.S., although
it’s obvious that not everyone agrees that it was something good for
Grenada. Anyway, Grenada is lush and with all of the spices grown there,
the air is perfumed with their amazing aroma. After a wonderful tour with
the same driver we had there 13 years ago, we ended up at the beautiful
Grand Anse Beach, where we swam and sunned (not much snorkeling there)
until it was time to head back to the pier. We took water taxis back to
the pier and from there we took the tender back to the ship. This is
always a tender port, as they don’t have room for the large cruise ships
to dock.
