The best day of my trip! So far..

You know, my expectatives of Grenade were already really really high for the few people I came across before from there. However...didnt expect until that point of things being lined up.

I just started the day going to the seven sister falls hike where I was meant to go yesterday afternoon. At that moment, a couple were starting it with the only tour guide there. I just joined them. He was explaining so many things during the way, stopping on almost every single tree and plant and putting my knowledge up to date. He got impressed when he noticed I knew the Surrel (from Barbados).

We arrived to the main waterfall, there were two and the other 4 on the same river were all stepped up. It means, you need to make your way through the rocks to reach the top one and the going down by jumping. It sounded so cool. But! here is where the day completely changed (as I also was expecting to do the "Hash" -official hikes in the island where the point is finishing to have a beer and getting drunk eventually) thanks to an Italian guy I met there. He and his etiopian-italian wife were travelling around the world for 9 months already with their house on the water, their boat. They were this day going around the island with a hired taxi driver. I just joined them as they were going to a Grenadian Rhum distilery and to the Grenadian Chocolate Factory. Those things that can not be changed for any other plan.

We had a guided tour throughout the Rhum factory. All natural, no preservatives during the fermentation process. I just could not help it to ask for the sugar cane juice as there were ridiculous quantities of sugar canes there. But as it was stopped until Monday, they were not having it. The Rhum was being settled during the weekend, fermented and stuff. We had our unlimited degustation where the spicy one of just 25% alcohol was the best one. The other 69% and 75%, were not bad. But I was missing my unbeatable Neisson with sugar cane and lime squeezed hihi

The cocoa factory was closed but we went directly to the house of the owner where they make the chocolate, as the factory is all the process with the fruit and what we wanted of course was to sample, to taste, to enjoy the chocolate above all.

Our extremely kind, discret and safest ever driver -for an Island managed by knocking on the door get people coming out there and the owner in his pants asking sailing questions to us, like checking out if we were sailing in order to les us getting in. After checking times, measures and marine stuff, we got in. Ohhh men, I just went directly to some used trays with thick liquid chocolate. One of his workers even gave us parts of chocolate with the nibs inside (think not on sale) and chocolate bars. Soooooooo goood! I was having lunch, after my fishy roti for breakfast and two different mauby local juices, I was as an appetizer Rhum, as main dish Chocolate in all ways and the best was up to come!!

On the way back to St.George, isntead of the tipical steepy road that crossed the island from West to East we took the around one along the coast. Passing through Grenville and myself without paying any attention to what was going around, just talking to them everytime the taxi driver mentioned without any importance like...they make cane sugar juice in that place and..it wasn't me, it was the etiopian girl who already knew me as much as to stop him suddenly and going there. Oh men, here the day started again haha

All with laughs, getting more and more in bottles. Myself drinking it -as always- like water and pictures where we looked liked with a nice sugar high we discovered she also had in a frozen in her storage mixes!! Like tamarin with cane sugar juice or for first time the beetroot aka eggplant with canesugar juice too!! However, the success came when we discovered the "Bavoun day juice" with sugar cane too of course. The woman was all laughing as to explain its propierties, she was a bit shy, as they are much bigger&better than Viagra ones LOL

Damn it, just check the videos out. What a good feeling, with such nice people and with all the sweetness you can have in a day.

At dusk, they invited me to visit their house. Amaaaazing, have never seen such a boat like that well naturally decorated and with all needs and more. I just wanted to join them sailing at some point on the next months and hope I'll do. Their plans of destinations were a bit like mine but always easy so...I know we'll arrange something.

For first time too, and to celebrate such a HUGE enormous day, I tried beedi. But on the top of that, I just corrected myself of saying no instantly by one Yes! Why not! This is the perfect first time. They also shared with me they were working with saying Yes to everything. Then I explained them my italian "Ogni esperienza non fatta e una esperienza persa" and the Martinican one "Porquoi pas?". We enjoyed so much. What a nice feeling. What a esplendorous smile that I could not hide for the rest of my day.
