We didn’t do a whole lot in Grenada. Because we spent a week here in 2003, there was nothing we really felt obligated to see; there are a couple of geocaches on the island but none of them are anywhere near the cruise port. If A were also into geocaching I would have suggested taking a cab to those locations, but she wouldn’t have had much fun. So after we finished breakfast, we ambled off the ship and into the cruise terminal. This was the first place on the trip that actually had customs for people returning to the ships, but getting off was no problem. (There were actually three ships at St. George’s today…us, the Crown Princess, and a Pullmantur ship that was tendering from a little ways offshore.)

We wandered up the street that the cruise terminal is on, discovered that it basically went nowhere because the sidewalk ended, and wandered back. We spotted a little market so we turned up that street, and our first stop was a grocery store because A was hoping to find some Nut-Med to bring back as gifts. They didn’t have that, but they did have a single-serving boxed drink called Choc-Nut so I got that and it was delicious! I also got some “Coca-Cola Light” (what most of the world has, as opposed to Diet Coke) so we could have drinks back in our room. We went back out of the grocery store and looked around at the market. A had gotten some Eastern Caribbean Dollars for change, so she wanted to buy something. She was hoping to find 5 or 6 bottles of Nut-Med for $20 US, but most stands wanted $10 per bottle so that wasn’t going to happen. She ended up spending all of the EC money on a bottle of Nutmeg Jam, which should be pretty good, and I suspect $8 EC was a reasonable price.

Upon the advice of the woman who sold her the jam, A wanted to find a pharmacy because she heard the Nut-Med would be cheaper there. Unfortunately it was still $10 US per bottle, so that didn’t pan out. We came back on the ship and had a nap, and then started drinking for the rest of the evening! We read books and had drinks on the back of the ship, then we came back to the room and read books and had homemade drinks (rum and coke), then we went to the Captain’s Club party and got a bunch of free champagne, then we went to dinner and had mango daiquiris with dinner. There was a Pied Piper party at 11pm with an open bar, but I fell asleep in our bed around 10pm so we didn’t make it to that!
