An Island Hopping Adventure


         Next,  we  got  to  Grenada,  ‘The  spice  isle.’  A  very

         beautiful  and  mountainous  island  that  boasts  the
         most  spices  in  the  Caribbean  region.  They  are

         famous  for  the  nutmeg.  This  spice  is  used  in  the

         production of  a  lot  of  drinks  and  desserts.  It’s  an

         island  great  for adventure which boasts the  great

         Grand Anse beach, one of the longest beaches in
         the Caribbean.



         Grenada  is  very  beautiful  and  full  of  fun  but  we

         hopped on to our next stop which was St Vincent

         and the Grenadines. The first question I asked my
         dad was why it’s St Vincent and the Grenadines and

         not  Grenada  and  the  Grenadines.  He  said,  ”Son

         your guess is as good as mine, that happened way

         before my time.”


         We flew over several islands before we got to the

         main island St Vincent. This island, I understand, is

         famous for products like sugar, flour, cement and

         also for exporting bananas. It’s not a very big island

         but when you add the Grenadines to it, it could be
         very big.
