First Anniversary, Second Honeymoon - Carriacou

To celebrate our first wedding anniversary, CW and I took a trip to Grenada's sister island Carriacou.  We traveled via ferry to stay three days and two nights at the Carriacou Grand View Hotel.

Somebody had lobster for a beach cooked dinner

Enjoying Ann's Place

My lunch was lambie (conch), rice and vegetables, callaloo (like spinach), potato salad with fried plantains.

CW had the same but with pork

Day two began with a swing on the beach

Now what? Lets go to Paradise Beach!

I had the lobster! He had the red snapper and we had bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers.

Back on the pier in Carriacou
Our ferry got about 1/4 of the way home and had engine trouble and had to turn around.

The larger ferry came to take us home

Just in time to sail under the Caribbean sunset
