We spent some days in the beautiful anchorage of St. David´s. The harbour which is just a bay, (it always confuses me when the anchorages are called “harbour” as it has absolutely nothing to do with a harbour we usually think of) lies in the south part of Grenada and is only a few miles east of Woburn bay, where we stayed when we arrived. I read, that many years ago, sailing ships would sail in the bay to load up on spices and produce bound for Europe. Difficult to imagine as it is now a very quiet and calm place with no site of a city whatsoever. Here some pics of the bay and some walks we had in the amazing surrounding green nature.
Sorry for the low quality of the pictures this time, but our apple computer died and we were only able to recover some of the recent pictures taken but only at a lower resolution than usual.
the view of the bay from the beach bar the only bar within miles on the left the beach bar and next to it the huge storage and work yards St. David´s Harbor and the next small bay named “Little Bacolet” the most beautiful yard surrounded by nature the view from the bar to the east side of the bay the very end of the boat yard this poor boat seemed to sit here for quite a while as well as this old vehicle the east side of the bay with the fancy resort “Belair Plantation” a small beach at the east side the opposite side of St David´s bay and the view to the open sea we went up the street to the main road to get a bus into town, passing trucks being used as spare parts source and houses and a lot of nature
A lovely walk to “La Sagesse Nature Centre” just a bay to the east of St. David´s
A pretty little only 12-room hotel set in a gorgeous bay, with one of the longest and broadest palm-backed beaches in Grenada. So I read. It was indeed a very beautiful spot although it was sad to see that a huge construction area was spoiling the magic atmosphere of this hidden perl.
a sneaking view of St. David´s pretty flower on top of the hill on one side the boat yard of St. David´s on the other side La Sagesse Bay hiding Capitano looks like a pretty house but I wouldn´t like living there… on a stelt house we passed by a this hut which reminded me of Essen, it looked a little like a “Büdchen” , a typical kiosk which I loved as a kid. I could buy sweets “Bonbons” for only some “Pfenninge”. This hut reminded me as it also had a lot of containers with sweets as our “Büdchen” used to have no clue what this flower is we passed a nursery , El Capitano was very interested… they don´t seem to have car dumps in Grenada a huge leaved curled up while getting dry Belair Plantation another nursery a football/cricket ground low hanging fruits pretty trees Sagesse Bay soursop fruit a…. stone? this lady sold us the most tasty pineapple we had so far in Grenada
