Day 14: Tourist for the day, Rhys Williams

The tourists for the day boarded the bus and set off for their tour of the island. The first stop was the Concord waterfall which is set in the hills of Grenada. Opportunities were provided to take photos of the stunning scenery and chances to walk in the calm water. This calm water however suddenly turned into rough water as Benny MC took a tumble!

The next visit for the tourists was to a spice plantation where we learned about how different spices such as coco, nutmeg and cinnamon are grown. If any are interested apparently the plantation is up for sale at 25 million East Caribbean Dollars if anyone has some spare cash to spend. (Mr Harrison is checking his finances) After a visit here we visited a nutmeg processing plant where we had the chance to see how spices are taken out of their shells and then to be distributed to various places around the world.

After this it was time for the typical Caribbean lunch of chicken and rice in the stunning scenery where the Caribbean Sea meets up with the Atlantic Ocean and the island of Carriacou in the background. After a brief thunderstorm the boys moved onto see a rum distillery where we were shown how it is made. The boys were allowed to taste some of the rum that is made here ranging from 16% alcohol to 75% alcohol. There was also chances to purchase some of the products which many of the boys did, including Mr.Duncan who decided to purchase 4 bottles!

The tour party then moved onto their last stop where they visited the Grand Etang nature reserve. Again photos were taken of the scenery that surrounded us. We were also greeted by two monkeys one of which decided to jump onto Marcus Eaton's head and the the other one onto Mr. Harrison's head which also took a sweet off him during the process. The party now looks forward to their last evening on the island and then heading back to the UK tomorrow night.
