Another “expedition” ..this time to Concord Waterfalls, on the western side of the island. We took the bus from Prickly Bay to St-Georges (2,50 $ Caribbean) and then to Concord ($3,50 Caribbean)…the road was reopened..(there had been a major explosion on that stretch last fall). We wanted our friend Uwe to experience traveling with a minibus, island style, and to view at least one waterfall…The weather was very gray that day and as we got out of the bus it was pouring rain! We took shelter in a boutique where printmaking on fabric was the specialty and clothing and other Grenadian products were on sale. The staff was from Concord and Gouyave and were delighted to have visitors..although there are sometimes 4 cruiseships in St-Georges harbour, these far away places (10 miles!) don’t profit from the tourists influx…we wonder if anybody profit from these cruiseships visitors except maybe the local shopping center in St-Georges where all visitors stream to by pizza, Subway sandwiches (!) and some tee shirts… Back to our expedition: from Concord, we walked 1.5 hour under a light and refreshing drizzle rain through..a real paradise! It was breathtaking to wander through the country side where cashew trees, star fruit trees, cocoa and nutmeg trees grow among bamboos and coco palms..such a bounty! And with the light rain, it gave a real “rain forest” touch to the landscape…

The fall itself was beautiful but we were so wet anyway that a bath did not feel "needed"!



Notre expedition a Concord fut un success: nous avions vu celles des Seven Sisters, grimpe au Mont Qua Qua et vu le lac du Grand-Etang. Cette escapade fut tout a fait differente, comme dans un paradis terrestre ou poussent tous les fruits exotiques imaginables !!! Cette marche de 1.5 heure nous emmena a la chute Concord mais nous n’avions pas envie de nous y baigner puisque nous avions ete sous la pluie au cours de notre marche !Ce fut une superbe decouverte et nous a permis de voir une autre facette de la flore grenadienne.
