It has been raining for several days and the river is flowing fast so we experience fast water, bounce off rocks, and get stuck in quiet coves where the staff wade over and push us back out. They make this a real adventure, guiding each tube through the best part of the rapids and we have a lot of fun! Our only complaint is that it's too short.

In 1983, the U.S. invaded Grenada, as one local explained, "to prevent Cuba and the Russians from taking over."<br /><br />St. George's has around 5,000 people of the 34,000 or so on the island and is divided by a large hill. We take the easiest path through (rather than over) the hill to get to the spice market, sharing the one-lane, 340-foot Sendall Tunnel with cars and other folks crossing through.<br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DfLsPi1U8Cs/VpQmUBpTi1I/AAAAAAAACC4/khr3jRjzBXk/s1600/tunnel2.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DfLsPi1U8Cs/VpQmUBpTi1I/AAAAAAAACC4/khr3jRjzBXk/s200/tunnel2.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ggqk53IdjMw/VpQmQbBsc3I/AAAAAAAACDE/FrgMdWaWGoM/s1600/Tunnel.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ggqk53IdjMw/VpQmQbBsc3I/AAAAAAAACDE/FrgMdWaWGoM/s200/Tunnel.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The Sendall Tunnel</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />On the other side of the tunnel is the main [large] cruise boat terminal, but we head the other way, to the right a few blocks to the market square, packed with spice stands.

The smells are great and we stroll through the stands and eventually buy some nutmeg to take home (but not in the stands, rather, in the supermarket on the wharf, which has the spices at good prices for local cooking).

The ownership of the island changed between the French and British around a dozen times between the late1600s and 1814, when the British took permanent ownership. In 1979, St. Lucia achieved full independence.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">After returning from Gros Islet, we hike up to the lookout points and enjoy the panoramic view of St. Lucia's northwest coast, without having to watch out for the French.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o5_E5fQDRVk/Vo7SEyDCJDI/AAAAAAAAB-E/C125-4ERVn8/s1600/DSC05779.JPG" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o5_E5fQDRVk/Vo7SEyDCJDI/AAAAAAAAB-E/C125-4ERVn8/s200/DSC05779.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zjrNgJyfAu8/Vo7SHNi0XwI/AAAAAAAAB-Q/pmqbhVw6R6Q/s1600/DSC05781.JPG" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zjrNgJyfAu8/Vo7SHNi0XwI/AAAAAAAAB-Q/pmqbhVw6R6Q/s200/DSC05781.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Hiking up to the lookout points</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GAuXaMdhiJQ/Vo7SJm9ZJ_I/AAAAAAAAB-g/DgrUPRdyY1I/s1600/DSC05784.JPG" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GAuXaMdhiJQ/Vo7SJm9ZJ_I/AAAAAAAAB-g/DgrUPRdyY1I/s200/DSC05784.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FS_rw-eJmk4/Vo7SIDr8VRI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/3SXLZoZbMEU/s1600/DSC05783.JPG" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FS_rw-eJmk4/Vo7SIDr8VRI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/3SXLZoZbMEU/s200/DSC05783.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Panoramic views of St. Lucia</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We head down to the beach on the bay, swim for a while, then stop at a beach shack for a local Piton beer.

Barbados was formed by the collision of the Atlantic crustal and the Caribbean plates, causing tectonic uplifts which ultimately pushed coral reefs out of the water. This action created many caves, the most popular of which is Harrison's Cave, which developed from water erosion of the underground coral beds. Harrison's Cave was not seriously explored until the 1970s and, in 1981 was opened to the public as a major attraction of the island. The beautiful stalactites and stalagmites in the cave developed through infusion of the calcium-rich water through the limestone rock of the cave. We tour by tram that descends 180 feet into the cave.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pr9Iad7WjAE/VorCeRijSkI/AAAAAAAAB6s/ZtONm6JqdAs/s1600/Cave4.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pr9Iad7WjAE/VorCeRijSkI/AAAAAAAAB6s/ZtONm6JqdAs/s200/Cave4.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5o--jP7p7Q/VorCbFhqBSI/AAAAAAAAB6U/dhTZ8czoI-c/s1600/Cave3.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5o--jP7p7Q/VorCbFhqBSI/AAAAAAAAB6U/dhTZ8czoI-c/s200/Cave3.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1UiLTDtaJ6c/VorCdEtMqBI/AAAAAAAAB6k/q6jwo5Gczlk/s1600/Cave1.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1UiLTDtaJ6c/VorCdEtMqBI/AAAAAAAAB6k/q6jwo5Gczlk/s200/Cave1.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j1hrQRE8Me0/VorCb3fPslI/AAAAAAAAB6Y/-6SvPeBgYvM/s1600/Cave2.jpg" style="color: #cc6611; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j1hrQRE8Me0/VorCb3fPslI/AAAAAAAAB6Y/-6SvPeBgYvM/s200/Cave2.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="200" /></a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Stalactites and stalagmites in Harrison's cave<br /> </span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The British built many large plantation houses, Great Houses, where the plantation owners lived. The original Sunbury Plantation House in the parish of St. Philip was built around 1660 by one of the first British settlers on the island and became the the Great House for a plantation that grew to 413 acres. Sunbury Plantation House is open to the public and features one of the best collections of antiques and artifacts in Barbados, including the largest collection of antique carriages in the Caribbean and many items used in the day-to-day operation of the plantation.</span><br style="background-color: white;

That leaves us a little short of new content, but with a lot of postings over the last 9 years (the blog started in 2015), we have much material and will take this opportunity to revisit some of our favorite trips and experiences, adding in new adventures as they occur (Madrid, Paris, and Hannover coming next month).</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We have been on St. Kitts and Nevis several times during the Carnival celebration which starts in late November and extends through the holiday season. The event features colorful parades, street performances, competitions, shows, and other activities that blend the celebration of the island's culture with the Christmas and New Year's holidays.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">We'll start with some warm-weather locations, particularly around the Caribbean. We are lucky to arrive in St. Kitts on a Carnival parade day. It's a little crowded, but fun to walk around. Here are a few of the sights. Many of the floats are two-level, with a band on one level and dancers on the other.</span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6316692028609141285" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white;

Scooby leaves Anse Marcel and makes a stop at our hotel's beach which is truly convenient. We book two trips in advance and take the first one to Anguilla, the nearest large island and a UK dependency.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">First, Scooby Too heads over to Tintamarre (<span style="background-color: white;

We like to stay in Grand Case on the French side of the island, quieter than the Dutch side (with its cruise boat terminal) and packed with great beaches and small restaurants featuring fabulous French cooking focused on food from the sea. We arrive at the <a href="https://grandcasebeachclub.com/">Grand Case Beach Club</a> and wander around our hotel, about a 10 minute walk from the small town of Grand Case.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
