This is St. George town, the capital of the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada in the West Indies. I’ve been here previously and as far as I can remember I really did have a wonderful time roaming around the town and even hiked all the way up to the overlooking St. George Fort. Well, this time it’s different. I did not find the time to go ashore – I was so occupied preparing the passage plans for the ship’s next cruise and succeeding cruises. I am almost done and for sure on our way back to Southampton everything would be ready.
