Off to Carriacou we go!

After a night at Woburn Villas, we headed down to catch the ferry at Carenage. The Osprey Ferry runs between Grenada and her sister isles of Carriacou and Petite Martinique every day. If you haven't purchased your ticket before travelling, you can buy one at the dock - but you must bring cash!

This was our second trip to Carriacou and this time, it was a little rougher - and also very full due to the large number of people travelling to Carriacou for Carnival. It was a beautiful day for a ferry ride though - and we were able to see the coast of Grenada and some of the smaller islands to the north.

Arriving in Carriacou, we checked into our 'home away from home' for the next few days Ade's Dream. It is nothing fancy - just the basics -but clean and the staff are so friendly. It is close to restaurants, produce vendors, bus station and has a great deck to watch all the carnival festivities without having to be right in the middle of it!

We had a quick lunch at SeaWave Restaurant just across the street - great place to get local cusine for a reasonable price - but remember - you are on local time - so enjoy the time it takes to have lunch!


After lunch, Allison of Isle of Reefs Tours met us for a tour of Carriacou. What a treat! We never felt rushed and Allison answered all of our questions - which required a lot of patience as we asked a lot of questions!

We learned about the history of Carriacou, saw boats under construction, historic ruins, traditional villages and board houses, beautiful beaches and so much more! It was well worth the cost - we were able to see the whole island without having to rent a vehicle or rely on the bus system.

After our tour, we had a walk through town and enjoyed a beautiful sunset before enjoying dinner at the Kayak Kafe before we called it a night! Looking forward to tomorrow and out trip to the Tobago Cays!
