St. George's
On the right, Wharf Road circles around Carenage, the center of beautiful St George's Harbour. You can't miss the great Catholic Cathedral on the skyline.
In the background, Fort George built by the French in 1705 at the mouth of the harbour.
A few of the sailboats in the marina established in the second lobe of St George's Harbour called the Lagoon.
I rented a room in this family guest house on Lagoon Road, just in front of the marina for 15 US$ a day. It was a clean, comfortable and interesting place to stay.
The beautiful Grande Anse Bay beach, less than 4 kms from the center of St George, is served by the city bus.
I took the local bus to go around the island. This is one of the main streets of Grenville on the east coast, Grenada's second largest town.
Sauteur
Sauteur's church on the northern tip of the island. A short ways behind this church is a 30 meter cliff from which the last resisting Caribs jumped to their deaths rather than surrender to the invading French in 1651. That is why the town was called Sauteur meaning "leaper".
Gouyave
A side street in Gouyave on the west shore, the island's third largest town. I just loved Grenada, everything about it was beautiful, the people I met were all relaxed and friendly, the food was good, it was just a great place to enjoy life.
From here, I flew back to Port of Spain, then on to Bogota via Caracas.
