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.



Feel free to see the previous video on Grenada as well, particularly about the lovely Grand Anse Beach and the famous Catamaran sail we can also do in St. George's, Grenada.

  3. Tanpa pala masakan semur rasanya kurang afdol. Sampai-samapai minta sama tetangga sedikit. Pala mahal karena pohon mulai punah

  7. What an interesting bit of history there.
    I do love those little yellow flowers. It does look like it is lush with beautiful vegetation. I'm sure it's even more spectacular to see in person.

  8. Ada cerita lanjutannya lagi gak kenapa French memilih menyerang melalui kota? Apakah karena Inggris memang sejak dulu katanya terkenal dengan kekuatan Angkatan Lautnya?
