The Carenage, Grenada

Grenada, Travel, , , ,

Feb 18 – As nice as it is to swim and sit on the beach, there’s something to be said for exploring. We hopped a van to travel a few miles up the coast to the Carenage, the busy downtown area where the cruise ships dock.

Last week we were in St Andrew’s parish, now we are in St George’s.
Very hilly streets – see the cruise ship out in the harbor? There is a different ship every day.
You know we like cathedrals, so we stopped by the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at the top of the hill…
…but they were celebrating noon mass, so we just peeked in and moved on.
Lots of the same baggies of spices at the tourist market. See the cinnamon sticks?
Plenty of hot sauces, nutmeg jam and rum
Ginger and tomatoes
Red papaya and soursop
TJ’s sounds like a good place for lunch
Jim’s chicken curry pie was huge, and contained four thighs, complete with bones. Don’t bite down hard!
We spoke with a German couple from the cruise ship. They stop at a new island every day.
Plenty of wall art!
Here’s the Grenada sign, partially obstructed by taxi drivers waiting for a fare.
The Sendell Tunnel connects the two sides of town. We thought it was for pedestrians…
…but it’s for car traffic too. A tight squeeze!
On the other side of the tunnel was the harbor…
…where the rich folks dock their yachts
A fine day!
