Grenada July 2005. |
|
After Ivan, missed Dennis and relieved about Emily. |
|
'Rex Grenadian' is close to airport and on the south-west coast. Caribbean waters clear, mild and cool with coral and fish. Had enough hot days mixed with some tropical rain.. inc. Emily. Hotel only re- opened two days before we arrived...new roofs and quick makeover. Restaurant friendly and attentive with six guests, but struggled when there was a rush of ten. Chef wastes too much time on presentation. |
|
Main pic is our room view with a tamarind tree to the right and a fallen trunk that looked like a fierce reptile. Top row is Janet's shots of differing weather conditions and time of day. |
|
Rush hour on the beach and on the water as I dodge the other water sport activity. Don't ask about the paddle....! |
|
A barman for each guest sometimes. |
|
Middle right is bad pic of the sole iguana on the lagoon. |
|
Main photo is one of the few nutmeg trees that didn't suffer grief from Ivan, -ten years to recover. A lot of banana plants were also horizontal, but they take months. |
|
A visit to tanty Ruth, busy beach at Hogg Island, Concord Falls, crater lake- sighted the only brave monkey to show after Emily, top and bottom view of Saturday market and roofless cathedral. Far left is roadside shop selling everything.....!, and choas at the bathtub derby at Grand Anse beach. |
