Grenada

The welcome sign

I was so looking forward to the glass bottom boat tour, what a disappointment is was. The glass bottom boat was actually a catamaran with three large boxes in the middle, with trays in them, that had glass bottoms. When we got out to sea, they lowered these trays until the glass was below the water level. and you had to stand and look into the boxes to try to sea stuff. It took them about 15 minutes to secure them and then about the same time to bring them back up at the end. The water was quite murky, which wasn't their fault, but the boat was. I was really disappointed. They did give us a rum punch, which was quite strong and did help somewhat. I enjoyed that.

Can't even take your illegal drugs, how boring....

They took us over some statues that had been placed into the ocean after some festival or other, years ago. But the sea has corroded then and crustaseons have settled all over them, so you can't rescognise what they are meant to be. Thought I did recognise a table, only because it was rectangle and had a bowl of fruit on top of it. I didn't get a pic of that though.

This is what I could see of the statues, so now you know how crappy it was.

The back view of a couple of my new friends. trying to see something.

Lots of pics of fish you might see, if you could see.

I did meet three lovely American ladies who adopted me for the day. So that was sweet.

Kearie had a great day and learned lots about the island. so much for me feeling sorry for her, picking the boring tour.... Yeah, serves me right.

Fort Fredrick

There where 42 canons at Fort Fredrick and not one of them ever fired a shot. They have all now been moved to Fort George. Fort Frederick was named after King Georges son.

Fort George, with the hospital behind it

The old parliment house has been replaced by the new one that Australia helped to design and build. It is much more boring, in our opinion. We liked the old one better.
