Day One
 Oliver delivered the car at 09:30, we gathered some
juice, swimwear, maps and off we went. Along the coast
road toward Prickly Bay. We stopped at Prickly Bay Waterside a stunning
development of apartments ranging in price from US$ 530,000 up to 2,995,000.
Keith was pleased to show us round and outline the plans for the new marina.
Watching the boats in the lagoon it was clear to see why the bay has a
reputation of being a very rolly anchorage. Bear and Keith had a couple of
beers, me fresh pineapple juices. After an hour or so, time to continue our
exploration.
  The houses along the well laid road were nestled into
steep hills.
La
Sagesse
Getting near to lunch time Bear directed us to a
small bay with a pretty little hotel called La Sagesse. "If I had one day to
spend in Grenada, it would be at La Sagesse" wrote the Hunter Travel writer -
Lynne M. Sullivan. www.lasagesse.com Located in St David's
is one of the most beautiful beaches in Grenada.
 The history of La Sagesse is full of colour.
Apparently the estate was first owned by an English lord who decided he wanted
HIS beach private.The incensed locals tied him to a tree and there followed many
court appearances, the result was no locals
were convicted and their action led to ALL beaches on Grenada being public for
ALL.
  We ate a light lunch in the open-air restaurant set
amongst stunning tropical gardens
 After lunch we walked along the beach and explored a
river estuary where we saw huge dragonflies, little blue heron and small
river fish.
