Chocolate Fest in Grenada
Chocolate Fest in Grenada

We arrived in Grenada just in time for the Chocolate Festival. As paying punters we felt slightly short-changed as the bloggers got hauled around in the better bus, but we still had a great day at the Belmont Estate and Grenada Chocolate Company (where Edmund, the owner, gave us a tour).

The cocoa expert from Trinidad university was on hand to explain the full process, from pods in the field... ...to fermentation, then drying slowly in the sun... The manufacturing process was quite interesting, but very small scale here in Grenada. We anchored in Prickly Bay - seems like a great place with lots of activities going on. We had a few nights there, then moved around to Port Louis Marina for a quick trip home...
