25th Anniversary Trip, Day 5

Granada was our stop today.  We had another private tour.  We went around the north end of the island, visiting many villages along the way.  We also visited and waterfall, a nutmeg farm and processing plant and learned how cocoa is processed on the island.

We also drove through the rain forest and stopped at a small lake in the caldera of a volcano at about 2000 feet.  Our guide, Denny, was very knowledgeable and narrated almost the entire 4 and half hours!

I was kinda sick today and had a massive migraine so the twisting, bumpy roads were a little hard to take.  We came back to the ship a little early for quick lunch and a nice nap.  Don't get to take too many naps at home!
