Cutty Island Tour, Grenada
We took Cutty (actual name Cuthbert) Island Tour of the Spice Island. It’s amazing to see what’s growing on every corner. As we toured in his taxi Cuthy, who is a farmer when not driving, stopped every 10 minutes to show us more plants and spices, fruits and vegetables. These included from what I can recall:
Pineapple, Papaya, Cocoa, Castor Beans, Ginger Leaf, Nutmeg, Star Fruit, Lemon Grass, Cashew Nuts, Limes, Traveller’s Palm, Poinsettia, Chelsea Flower Show winners, Cinnamon, Breadfruit, Bread Nut, Noni, Cloves, Turmeric,
Cocoa Pods
Cocoa seeds wrapped in a juicy kind of jelly which you can suck.
Nutmeg including Mace which is also used as a colouring agent in lipstick
Cashew Nuts (the nut is on top of the berry)
Annandale Falls (not very spectacular)
Coconut Water
Annandale Falls Gardens
The Police Band practice house
Walking in the rain forest
The Prime Minister’s last private plane
A poinsettia
