Grenada

So my post from yesterday in Bonaire seems to have been lost in cyberspace. The summary is we had a great morning snorkelling with Woodwind Tours in Bonaire. Dee and Isobel were first rate, knowledgeable guides. Beautiful day that you dream of in the Carribean.

Today we docked in Grenada at noon. It is known as the Isle of Spice. P chose this tour and was excited to tour a spice farm and nutmeg processing plant. We learned all about how nutmeg and mace grow in the same plant. Bertrand, our guide, showed us allspice, cocoa beans, cinnamon bark and cloves. All interesting to learn about but with the price of hilly roads with lots of twists and turns and resulting in one motion sick boy. Too bad because he just wanted the tour to end; instead the tour was 5 hours instead of 3.

Sadly the Captain ( or his designate) announced it looks like there is norovirus on this ship so we need to be extra vigilant about washing our hands. It is certainly more work for cabin stewards and cleaning crew. We have Clorox wipes at the ready and wash our hands every time we return to our cabin. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping to stay healthy.

We have an early start tomorrow - 7 am - for Dominica!
