Grenada–A Down Day

More liquid sunshine appeared here in Grenada from the time we docked around 7am in St George's, the capital of Grenada until late morning. The weather forecast was for partly cloudy skies and a high of 84 degrees. Grenada is approximately 133 square miles with a population of 33,700 living in St George's. The main language is English.

The Celebrity Constellation arrived after 8am and docked along side of us.

Got up early in the morning to start our laundry. Two hours later and two loads of laundry done, I head out in the rain to the cruise terminal to do some window shopping. Hubby stayed on the ship to get some R&R.

After two hours of browsing, I head back to the ship and bright sunny skies. I checked on hubby (who was napping) and grab my camera and head back to the pier to take some pictures:

When I get back to the cabin, hubby is ready to get to the gym. So off we go to run a mile on the treadmill and then lift some weights.

We set sail and leave Grenada around 2pm. The sun finally appeared on our balcony and we head outside to enjoy the warmth. Sailing in the open ocean with a slight breeze made me very sleepy. There are intermittent naps in order for today.

Tonight we headed down to the Princess Theater to watch a movie. This is a treat as watching a movie at MUTS can be very windy and a bit chilly outside.

Today, I walked 4.25 miles.

Tomorrow, we are in Bonaire.

Day 5 - Grenada

Another late post for this port. We were still at sea when we woke up around 8am. We're suppose to dock around 12 noon today.

Today is designated as a "down day" and I plan on doing a load of laundry. I know, I'm on vacation. I figure I can take an hour so that DH and I can have some clean clothes for the remaining week. There's a laundromat on each deck of this ship.

Yes, we pack light or within the 50lb luggage limit. That includes our snorkel gear, shoes, clothes, and various AC adapters for all my gadgets that I use while on the ship.

As we approach Grenada and dock around 11:30am, we see that the Celebrity Galaxy is already in port. Here is a picture to compare the size of the two ships. The Emerald is on the left side and the Galaxy on the right.

As a lot of folks are getting off the ship, I use this opportunity to take some pictures of the ship. It's quite hot on the top decks with a slight breeze.

This is our 4th time in Grenada. Been here and done that. We've snorkeled here and it's not on our top list.

We do get off the ship to do some window shopping, but that's about it.

Tonight in the Caribe Cafe was Madras Curry Buffet. Yummy.

This evening we went to see a magician/comedy show with Jeff Peterson and his dog. It was pretty good.
