Location: Prickly Bay, Grenada
This morning we woke up bright and early to have a wonderful quiche made by the one and only Sid as we prepared for our island spice tour. Our tour guide’s name was Michael, and we learned about some of the history of Grenada. We learned that Grenada is the second-highest producer of nutmeg spice in the world due to its fertile soil and warm climate. Grenada is also home to cinnamon, mace, and clove. The tour was not strictly about spices. We also got a pretty relaxing tour of the island and got to see some beautiful views. Once we finished up with the island and spice tour, we headed to Jovauy chocolate shop, where we learned how they process the cocoa bean and make some of the greatest chocolate that I have ever had. To top it all off, we found ourselves at another waterfall. Only this time, we did not trek through the woods for hours to get to it. It was meaning a walk down some stairs to a 50 to 60-foot fall, which was quite majestic. We hung around there for about an hour, playing checkers and taking in the views. As we got on the bus to leave, moral was at an all-time high, and we were on our way to prepare for a sign-out night. Overall our day was pretty mellow and a much-needed change of pace from what we endured the day before.
