Here we are in Grenada!



Hello from Grenada! So after arriving a day late thanks to Monarch Airlines - never again! So the pictures above are the short walk from the resort to the beach - not a lot of people around as you can see!

So the first three days - a steady 30 degrees C and sunshine - and spent at the beach and why not! Day 4 and we took the local bus to St Georges - and to find this internet cafe from a year ago
above the bridal shop in the back street!

You'll see some pictures from the fort, and the old Kirk destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and both without roofs... however with $1m raised, the Kirk restoration is about to get under way...

Oh well after a painful experience here in the internet cafe (!) with pictures not loading, the PC crashing, etc. it's time to go and a find a local Guinness and lunch!

See you next time... whenever that is on this blog!!! (In reality I'll add a few more pics when we get home...)

The QM2 trip - revisited!!

Well... just over a year on... it's back to the first port of call of last year's cruise! An opportune moment, a good deal from good old http://www.travelzoo.com/, and a week's stay in Grenada!! We travel out from Gatwick on Wednesday 17 March, coming back in the wee small hours of the early morning of Thursday 25 March.

So you know when you say "we must come back here one day", well it's happened sooner than we thought!! So I wonder how everyone is from last year's trip?!?
