TRAVEL a 30-minute exhilarating river tubing adventure down the river through the evergreen vegetations. The experience is one I shall never forget, with breathtaking scenery on the way down. The Island is a paradise not only for nature enthusiasts, but also for those with a penchant for good food. Make no mistake about it - fish is big in Grenada, to the extent that a weekly fish festival takes place. I was able to sample Blue Marlin, and fresh local lobster which, when cooked over charcoal on the beach and complimented with wine or the local Carib beer, tasted simply wonderful. Grenada was discovered in 1498 by a certain Italian-born Spanish navigator known as Christopher Columbus: I am sure it didn’t take him long to realise that he had discovered a very magical place! www.visitilife.com 29
