Granada

We had a very nice visit to Granada. Weather was fabulous - sunny and not too hot. Our tour, however, was a 4 hour bus ride around the island with a number of stops. Our first stop was Annandale Falls, the tallest falls on the island. While diving into the pool is not sanctioned, a group of locals do just that to that to entertain the tourists - and collect tips. If you look in the top left of the picture you'll see a something red - that's a diver jumping into the pool.
The roads around this island were all quite narrow, without a center line, and barely wide enough for cars to pass. I'm not sure that there is more that 100 yards of flat road on this entire island. Every road resembled a high Colorado mountain road, twisting and turning, up, and down, with steep grades. Also, the road to Annandale Falls was very crowded, with one line of parked cars, and lines of vans trying to get in and out which was an amazing process to observe, involving much cooperation between the drivers and some very tight tolerances.
We started on the Caribbean side, crossed a 1900' mountain pass to the Atlantic side where I captured this classic Caribbean beach scene. Yes, that's black sand, quite beautiful and just like regular sand even though it's volcanic.
We eventually made out way back to a fort overlooking the city, then to the ship where we made out way to the adult pool for a refreshing dip before dinner in Cafe Caribe (it was Italian night).
