Best falls on the island!!

So next to the pictures are some descriptions to get to this falls. There are no street signs so this will still be a bit
challenging. I will give you directions
for the simplest route, 1)Head north on the West Coast road (the road to St. George's). Drive
all the way past the Carrinage and through St. George's past the fish
market. 2) Turn Right at white round-about driving past the national cricket
stadium (on your left). This is River Road. 3) After a half mile or so the road will fork, stay LEFT. 4) There will be one more large fork in the road about ... five miles (?) further up
the road after you've climbed up quite a bit. Go to the RIGHT. The rd. basically becomes
a "V". The lower part goes to Annadale Falls and the upper part goes
to the monkeys, Grand Etang Lake, and 7 sisters (this split has one road on right go up, road on left goes down.) 5) Other then that just keep following the road until you get to the peak with the gravel parking lot and wooden fence (it's obvious). This is Grand Etang Lake. 6) Further down the road, is 7 sisters. There are no signs, it is a concert road on your right that goes up hill to a parking lot. Once you turn you will see signs for parking.

Parking price is 5 EC per person. The attendant will sign you in and give you directions to the falls.

As already written on my Grenada-page there will be the World Cup in cricket in 2007, and among the venues will Saint George's be.
There is also the possibility to watch a game of cricket every now and then, since the sport is quite huge in Grenada. On my way back from the city center to the Foodland store I found this old cricket stadium. Although I doubt I should really call it a stadium...?
It has two stands anyway, and the game which was some kind of qualification game for players who wanted to compete in a higher level later (in the World Cup, not too sure about it) draw a full house. Would say there were at least a thousand spectators at the game.

The stadium is old, the stand is only built up in wood, and it's only place for spectators on one of four sides of the pitch. There was a small cabin where you could buy beer though, so I guess there was a reason to watch a game of cricket anyway... :)

Note that the photos were taken after the game was over, and most of the people had left the stadium.

If you, like me, comes to Grenada expecting it to be a calm and peacefull place you'll get shocked when you enter the market square.
Here everyone is shouting, cars are going everywhere, fast, and the drivers doesn't seem to care to much if they drive over someone or not.

But if you're more prepared for the rush this is a nice place to buy specially spices from. Here you'll find muskot, kakao, pepper and lots of other spices. Around the square you'll also find shops where you can buy t-shirts, hats and so on.

At the end of the square we find this guy who was the boss of the bar, the North Pole. Not sure I would call it a bar, as it was only a small cabin and where you would stand outside with your beer. But just the name would make it worth a visit.
35 degrees hot, and you name your pub "North Pole"...? :D
