Take Two

Next stop Bubbler took us to the chocolate factory / zoo. It was a brilliant little place. It was where the Cacao beans are laid out, dried and turned before being exported to other countries. The Cacao bean is one of Grenada largest exports



There were only a few animals there including some tortoises, goats, but best of all was a parrot that actually did speak. I could not believe it, perhaps im naïve and know nothing about parrots but I thought they would say a few ‘hello’ a few more words and that’s about it!! Well , this Polly was absolutely brilliant, he was reeling off sentencing ranging from Polly wants a cracker to far more obscene language to rude to say on here. As you can imagine this is where we all spent most of our time.

Next Bubbler took us to a famous site called ‘Leapers Lane’. This spot was where the Caribs jumped to their death rather than surrender when the French were invading their country. Poor buggers, they must have been bricking it so bad to jump from that height.



Finally the last stop was another set of waterfalls and I think we were all ready to go home.. apart from the fact it was past four pm and we had not eaten all day , I was starting to get butt cramp from being sat down for so long. The last waterfalls were great, they were only small but you could dive off and swim around.. they were fab…
