Jenny had already reached out to the Booking.com owner, who appeared to be based in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSince Grenada is known as the \u201cIsland of Spice,\u201d we decided to begin our sightseeing with a visit to Laura’s Herb & Spice Garden. The drive took less than 20 minutes. The road conditions were quite good and far less steep than in Dominica or Saint Lucia, which may explain why the locals tended to drive a bit faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 40-minute guided tour of the garden was very informative. It seemed they cultivated herbs believed to help treat many common ailments, such as high blood pressure, skin conditions, and even cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter our visit, we drove to Fort Frederick, which offered spectacular views of St. George\u2019s harbor. There, we ran into the same Montreal couple we had met earlier during the garden tour\u2014they were on a private excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLater, we stopped at a supermarket to pick up a few more food items<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Click on photos below to see full size<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/noscript>\n\n\n\n2026.02.13 – [GD] St George’s ==> St George’s<\/h5>\n\n\n\nAfter our usual breakfast, we drove about 40 minutes to the trailhead for the Seven Sisters Waterfalls. The 45-minute hike to the falls was moderately challenging, with several steep sections and plenty of obstacles along the way, including boulders, tree roots, and small streams to cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt the falls, we enjoyed a refreshing dip and admired a massive tree that had, at some point, crashed down from the top of the waterfall. The hike is clearly a popular attraction, as we encountered a wide range of visitors\u2014from solo female travelers to families and couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfterward, we decided to check out a nearby river tubing attraction. We had a bit of trouble locating the river access point, and once we saw that the water level was quite low, we chose not to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the drive back, we were once again reminded of how fast the locals tend to drive on steep, winding roads. Back at our accommodation, Jenny did some laundry and prepared chicken wings with cooked vegetables for dinner. In the evening, a rain mist fell down.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Click on photos below to see full size<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/noscript>\n\n\n\n2026.02.14 – [GD] St George’s ==> St George’s<\/h5>\n\n\n\nWith our stomachs satisfied after breakfast, we set out to drive around the entire island in an anticlockwise direction. We had identified three attractions to visit along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur first stop\u2014about 45 minutes away\u2014was at Mt. Carmel Falls. We enjoyed the short hike and the lovely views of the waterfall and its lush surroundings. The roads continued to be in very good condition, and the local drivers still seemed to favor a brisk pace. Thankfully, traffic was lighter than usual, perhaps because it was Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout an hour later, we arrived at the Diamond Chocolate Factory, which produces chocolate under the Jouvay label. We had hoped to join a tour to learn more about the chocolate-making process and what makes Grenadian chocolate so unique and flavorful, but production was not active at the time. As a result, we settled for purchasing a couple of chocolate bars\u201470% and 100% cacao\u2014which we happily declared our Valentine\u2019s Day treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur final stop was the somewhat disappointing Concord Falls. While driving along the western coastal road, we watched the waves crashing against the shore, confirming that snorkeling in that area would not have been safe for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore heading back to our accommodation for dinner, we stopped at a supermarket in St. George\u2019s to pick up a few items. We managed to secure a rental car for our next island hop.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Click on photos below to see full size<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
