Location: Grand E' tang National Park The hiking trail to Mt. Qua- Qua was not difficult but very challenging: due to its narrow ridges and rocky terrain. Scott stated in his post via Summitpost.org that: ' ' Mount Qua Qua is the second or third highest peak on the island of Grenada ... . It is also the most popular mountain to climb on the island. "( http://www.summitpost.org/mount-qua-qua/970228 ) The hike can be rigorous for those who are both fit and unfit, the beautiful scenery at the top of the hike will be worth the walk and aching legs. I truly enjoyed the lush green vegetation leading up to the lookout point, the peaks with mist (if it's rainy/ overcast) ,and over-looking surrounding communities in the valley. On your way up the trail, one can over look Grand E'tang Lake below (the view is to die for). Supposedly, there are 2 trails (or shortcuts) one can take to go either Annadale waterfall or Concord waterfall, that's if you're co...

My 1st time to the amazing little island, the beach was wonderful and the view was breathe taking. On the island there were birds nest from a cliff area, an old ship wreck, disposed sea urchin and other sea creature. I did my first snorkeling (not too far), ate my 1st sea egg (sea urchin) raw and cooked. Grateful for this experience .

Where do I even start. My 2nd trip to Sandy Island was by far amazing than the first, enjoy reading my experience, I do hope you can experience this as well. Read about my 1st trip here : http://coconut3z.blogspot.com/2016/10/sandy-island-pt-1.html As usual, I woke at 7 am preparing myself for the trip, arriving on the jetty in Sauteurs at 9 am sharp. Food items were bought, including drinks and other essentials for our trip. On my 1st trip, we had used a small speed boat ( a small fishing boat with a powerful engine- West Indian term ), but on this trip ( Talk about upgrade) we went  with a slightly bigger fishing boat (Pleasure boat). This was good because the sea was sort of choppy that morning. To by pass the feeling of being sea sick, we gave jokes (silly stuff) on our way up. Finally touch down on Sandy Island, we cleared all items off both boats; then food preparation started. Some of the guys decided to go spear fishing/ free diving just off from the island; for ...

Dull moments will not be tolerated, enjoy the scenery & smile/ laugh while you can! EXPLORE. DETOX. RELAX.

Located in Victoria, St. Mark's, Mt. St. Catherine is the highest point on the island, a Stratovolcano. The beginning.... I woke at 3am to the sound of a Conch shell that was  blown to communicate to those in the community that it was time to wake & prepare your self for the hike. Best advise to bathe the night before, it saves you time (my opinion), drink some hot tea, have snacks/ food and of course a Large bottle of water.  when hiking it's best to wear a long pants /leggings, sneakers, a t- shirt and a nice cozy sweater (Cold at the top of the mountain). Try not to carry to much load yet having the essentials. All dress and ready to go, my friends and I meet at a spot so that we can all leave together. Its was really dark out, but the moon was our guide. As usually we 'ole' talk while walking, from a distance you can hear several persons whom was also embarking on this hike. The climax.... We followed the trail, walk over rocks an...
