Travel through St George's, Grenada's capital city. You'll probably find that 'city' is a slight embellishment for this quaint town with its red-tiled roofs and aromatic spice markets. A scenic drive through the winding streets will take you up Old Fort Road and top Roundabout up to the parish of St David, where plantations of Cocoa and other Spices can be seen as your driver describes the scenes in his lilting island accent. Visit the Laura Herb and Spice Garden filled with trees, plants and green grassy fields, treat your taste buds to a range of herbs and spices in over 6.5 acres(2.6ha) of garden. Learn about spices, their uses, what they look like in their natural state and about old remedies with your guide. Find cocoa, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric and Tonka beans. Complete your tour by heading to the gift shop, where you can purchase herbs and spices to take home and use in your own cooking. Continue to the central part of the island to Grand Etang where you can view the Grand Etang Lake. This cobalt blue lake lies in the crater of an extinct volcano, a breathtaking 1,900 feet above sea level. Enjoy a refreshing drink at the Visitor Center. The descent brings you past magnificent hanging carpets of green mountain fern, and through the quaint village of Vendome to Annandale. Disembark the coach for a short, walk to a green paradise of rushing water and hanging ferns. You'll see some of Grenada's 450 species of flowering and medicinal plants here. Continue to Fort Frederick, 800 feet above sea level. This vantage point offers a panoramic view of the horseshoe-shaped harbor, Fort George, the picturesque city and Richmond Hill Prisons. The construction of Fort Frederick was started by the French in 1779, and finished by the English in 1783. Return to the St George's pier via Lowther's Lane.
