Beautiful Grenada....

Wow.... what can I say about this beautiful little Caribbean Island - it may only be 21 miles by 12 miles but it has certainly managed to find a place in my heart!

Grenada has the fabulous climate, the beautiful beaches and the stunning scenery but in my mind - it's the people that make it. The locals greet you like you're an old friend and when you leave ... that's exactly how you will feel - like an old friend!

The great thing about Grenada is that there is accommodation to suit all tastes - from a luxury, boutique hotel to a tree house style villa set in lush tropical vegetation with views to die for. So whatever 'Caribbean experience' you are looking for - you'll be sure to find it here in Grenada.

A must for your holiday is a visit to ''Fish Friday'' where we were able to sample the local catch of the day whilst listening to the sounds of the steel drum band - go easy on the rum n' coke though - this is Grenada measures!

If snorkelling is your thing then don't miss the ''underwater sculptures''. We hired a catamaran for half a day from Grand Anse beach and were able to experience these underwater visions which was truly amazing! If you'd rather stay on land then make sure you enjoy all the island has to offer by hiring a car - they drive on the same side of the road as us so there's no excuse!

We took a trip up to Concord Falls - perfect for a quick dip on a hot day followed by an ice cold ''Carib'' beer in the shop nearby.

I also recommend a trip over to Carriacou Island which is more rustic than Grenada and part of the 'Grenada Grenadines'. We were able to catch the ferry from St. Georges which takes approx 2 hours - and were fortunate enough to spot dolphins and flying fish on the way!

To finish a perfect holiday we joined the gang down at the 'Dodgy Dock' at True Blue Bay Resort and danced the night away underneath the stars............................
