Ava's Tropical Dreams- Island tour!

🌸Island Tour!🌸


Last Friday, we went on an island tour around the whole Island with my family, grandpa and Michelle! Here are some things we did while on the island tour...

Chocolate factory! 

The first stop on our tour was to the Tri Island chocolate company. They let us try samples of their chocolate and honeycomb and it was delicious 😋. As well as that, they showed us the plants they use for making their chocolate (cocoa beans, cinnamon, nutmeg...). At the end of the tour I bought myself a bar of chocolate 🍫which was 80% cocoa! It's very strong but really nice.


 

 Annandale Falls!

The next stop we made was to Annandale Falls. We went to the waterfall and got to swim in the natural pool at the bottom and jump into the natural pool! The water was cold and refreshing which was lovely as it was so hot. There was also this man who jumped from the top of the waterfall and cannon-balled into the natural pool! It looked petrifying! We swam for around an hour and when we had to leave I was really sad as I did not want to leave the cold water!



 

Short stops we did:

Along the way we also did a few short stops. We had a look at their Parliament building (which looks a bit like the White House) and I was shocked when our driver told us we were parking in the car park! You could even go inside if you wanted to, but we didn't. For lunch we did a quick stop where we got chicken rotis. For anyone who doesn't know, a chicken roti is spicy chicken with curried potato in a wrap.

Taxi Driver/ Tour Guide:

Our taxi driver was called Foxy. Foxy was also our tour guide and told us many fun facts about Grenada and showed us lots of cool things. I found out many things from him, one being that the Grenadian flag is actually red, green and GOLD, not yellow!

 Villa!!!

On Wednesday, we went to our friends villa! They live on a boat, but their grandparents are staying and their boat is out 'on the hard' (out of the water in a shipyard) at the moment so they booked a local villa. We were invited over there the other day to have dinner and play in the pool and it was so much fun! Lots of our friends came so we were playing games in the pool.


 

Stunning sunsets and an amazing full moon:

On Sunday night, there was an amazing full moon! After a nice sunset, a full moon rose as we watched in utter amazement at how big it was.


 Also, on Thursday night we had the best sunset we have had so far. The whole sky was iridescent colours! We sat on the bow watching the sky change colour.


 

Thank you for reading this post. I hope you enjoy reading about what we have been up to. As usual my next blog post will be next Friday. Speak soon, Ava 😄

Ava's Tropical Dreams- Buying a boat, Selling possessions, Moving out...

Buying a boat, Selling possessions, Moving out... Hi, I am Ava Lacey. I am 11 years old and live in England (at the moment). I am making a blog because I am moving abroad and want everyone to come on the adventure with me. Behind the adventure  My parents used to work on boats before I was born, my mum was a chef and my dad was a captain. They worked in Canada, Florida and the Caribbean. Before I was born they moved back to England, which was where my dad used to live, to Silverstone Village. When I was one they moved to Greens Norton which is where I have lived for 10 years now. My dad worked for an underwater boat light company called Lumishore, while my mum carried on being a chef (but just on land). It has always been their dream to buy a boat of their own when they retired and me and my younger sister, Thea, were at university.       Why are we moving?   Last year, my dad was listening to a podcast about a family of 6 who moved from their home (in Aust...

Ava's Tropical Dreams- No going back

 No going back... On Sunday, we deep cleaned our house as the renter moved in this week.  Please bear in mind that this was not your daily clean like we are used to, this was a 'clean every inch of the house' deep clean.  That meant we had to clean all of the windows, which I do not recommend after cleaning 53 of them! Hoover every single room and the stairs (which is actually not as bad as the window cleaning) and make sure the toilets were sparkling -which my mum did.  At least, we are pretty much finished.  Where are we right now? As we have just deep cleaned the house and the renter moved in this week, my grandparents have very kindly let us use their house as they have gone on holiday to Wales. All of our things are now here with us at my grandparents house. What can we take?  Now, for anyone who does not know, a boat is not as big as a house (even if the boat has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) so we can not take everything we own. We have already given a...

Ava's Tropical Dreams- Lots of exploring and a week on the dock...

Lots of exploring and a week on the dock... I have done lots of things that I need to tell you about! First of all, in my last blog (at the end) I told you that we were going to go back to Woburn Bay. However, that did not happen as lots of our friends were going back to Morne Rouge on their own boats so we decided to go with them. We had another fun filled weekend at Morne Rouge with lots of swimming and playing.  While we were there, we visited the underwater sculpture park. The underwater sculpture park is an area of sea, which was by a coral reef, where there are lots of statues of people and objects underwater! It was really cool and my favourite statue was a man that was sat at his desk with a computer in front of him! We also saw a massive leather back turtle!  After visiting Morne Rouge we went to Le Phare Bleu to stay on our boat at the marina as my dad went for a work trip and my grandpa is visiting. We haven't seen him in 2 years! It's our first time staying in the ...
