Sadly the camera gave up the ghost so no pictures of chocolate although we did get a taste. Dark chocolate that even I liked, and a delicious hot chocolate drink flavoured with cinnamon and bay leaves. The estate also grows nutmeg but 95% of their trees were destroyed in Hurricane Ivan in 2004. It takes 10 years for the trees to reach maturity and produce a crop so the industry has not yet recovered - sad as Grenada used to produce a third of the worlds nutmeg
