WW: Fort Frederick, St. George's, Grenada

Let's continue our journey to St. George's, Grenada, shall we?


Overlooking the amazing view of St. George's

I'm in love with this country as it has so much in common with my beloved Indonesia.

One thing for sure, we both are the world's largest producers of nutmeg.
This golden spice really spurs up the economy and give this lovely country its fame.
And probably, on a bleaker side, also bring colonialism.

So, on the following day after my endless meetings in this island of spice, we decided to browse around the city. We rent the local taxi from the hotel and I traveled around with my dearest friend, Rie Kadota. We had 2 forts with amazing view from the top, local market and museums. St. George's itself has 4 forts on every corner of the city. 

Here are some photos I took from Fort Frederick with its amazing vista and the surroundings. Hope you love it as much as I do!


Welcome to Fort Frederick

It took us about 40 minutes to drive up here. Not because it's far but because of the traffic along those narrow yet cute alleys and road in the city. As we had stopped at the local market before heading here, we managed to eat fresh mangoes along the way. Super yuuum!


clear blue sky!
Fort Frederick is such a lovely place.
You can read a glimpse of its interesting history on the photo below.



Here are more photos from the surroundings of the fort.
I love the fresh yellow frangipani (that's the name of this type of flower, right?), the clear blue sky, fresh breeze, and relatively well-maintained architectures.

Perfect spot for a photo shoot :)

St. George's, Grenada
the vast ocean in front of you..


Uniquely, this fort is not facing the sea but rather backwards.
The fort is facing the city, as the British had traumatic experience of being attacked by the French from inland, instead of the ocean. That's the reason why the canons are also facing the city.







And here's happy me posing on Fort Frederick, wearing my favorite t-shirt saying: I swear I'm a blogger :)

Meanwhile, have you managed to check out my video o YouTube about my trip to Grenada?

Here's a little sneak peak of what you can do in St. George's in a day.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Remember the training I was talking about?
Well, it has started and I have to admit I was initially so worried and nervous about going back to school LOL. I feel like I have been away from all those pedagogic approaches and I guess I found it harder to learn something new. Nevertheless, I'm excited and I'm a blank page. I am optimistic I will be enjoying it, although all those assignments are horrible :).

Meanwhile, I have to pause most of the traveling schedule I have.
Well, a little pause will do us good, right. So that we can come back more focus and energized. And it gives me some times to finish some personal pending projects, like my videos for YouTube :). Check out this one from my last trip to Grenada yaaa..

WW: St. George’s, the Capital City of Grenada




I know it’s a #throwback edition of my visit to Grenada, the Island of Spice as I made my journey there in 2017. 
But as I was just finishing the video of my little adventure down here (better late than never) brings me all those good memories back. And I have to say, St. George’s, the capital city of Grenada, has a lot to offer.

I stayed in Grenada for 4 days and most of them were filled with endless meetings.
Nevertheless, Grenada has been a wonderful host and we really got a chance to actually see the city.


had so much fun diving in Grenada..
So besides diving and Catamaran sail, I did visit Fort Frederick, the historical site of the country as well as the best spot to see the city from above.
Not to mention a little stroll we had in the local market.
As I have probably mentioned before, Indonesia and Grenada are closely related, as we both


The local choco from Grenada

Mini me and I way back then..
I was there for a UN meetings and in between, we managed to see the beauty of the lovely state in the West Indies of the Caribbean.
I was lucky to stay at the Radisson Hotel right by the Grand Anse Beach.
The hotel is lovely and I had the full view on sunset on the beach.  




Let's explore the beach..



Down town at the city, we strolled around the market and bought some souvenirs.
We went up hill to see the bird eyes' view of the St. George's.
I love it!


right in the middle of the city

The rainbow..

Here are some photos I took along the way.
Most of them were taken around Grand Anse beach, the famous white-sandy beach in the country, as well as downtown.


Getting ready for our diving trip

Let's sail..

Care for some souvenirs

Yummy salad..

Let's relax..
