View from Welcome Rock, Grenada, West Indies, Caribbean. Single frame and panoramic versions in one upload. The high clouds were slow moving and they eventually covered the entire sky, I waited almost an hour for a good light, this was the best I got, this spot is at the opposite side of the island from the capital, it took most of the morning to drive there along the curvy roads with stops along the way, there's now a very steep concrete road up to the telecom towers at the peak, but not all cars can make it, fortunately my rental did, but I ran into some tourists whose taxi had to park before the last grade. Anyway, it's a 10 minute scramble down from the telecom towers to the viewpoint, the vegetation prevents a clear view from the summit itself.
I wonder how many people actually read the note, now that it's possible to comment without opening the photo in full size on flickr, I must confess, I've been doing that for many photos all week.
Info from their website:
Grenada Distillers Limited the island’s best-known and largest distillery and one of the most interesting historical sites. The factory has been in operation since 1937, and is situated in the southern part of the island, in the Parish of St George.
When you arrive you would be welcomed by one of our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides, who would explain our history and all the different processes and stages of making our fine rum. You would learn of the distilling process from sugar cane, syrup and molasses, to rum, and also the aging, blending and bottling processes of making rum. On tour you would also get the opportunity to discover old steam engines, some dating as far back as 1886.
The tour of the factory lasts about fifteen minutes, after which you would be escorted to our Hospitality Center, where you will see our unique Barrel Furniture and an interesting display of the Clarke’s Court products. Last but not least, you are invited to sample our award-winning rums at the sample bar. You would be given recipes on different ways you can mix our rum and truly appreciate the taste of our fine products.
I guess a rum distillery is a must for any visitor to the Caribbean.
