As we were about to land in the tiny airport of Grenada, the only thing I could see from the airplane was lush green forests. This peaceful tourist destination seemed to be covered from coast to coast in a green cloak. Just looking at it from above was refreshing and exciting.

We quickly passed through immigration only to find ourselves stranded as the resort had not sent any vehicle to pick us up. Before we could press the panic button, a brown SUV drove up. The driver was expecting us and we quickly got in, ready for our vacation to begin. It was almost lunchtime and we were hungry. The driver stopped at a local food stand and we found ourselves chomping on some delicious chicken roti. It was some kind of a flat bread with a potato filling and a huge helping of chicken. The food stands nearby had some amazing fresh fruits that were really tempting. After buying a nice stash of passion fruit and bananas we headed to the resort. So far it had lived up to being a peaceful tourist destination.

The next day, after having an early breakfast, we decided to head for the Annandale Falls. It was nearby so we chose to walk it out. The path was beautiful with lush vegetation all around. When we reached the falls, a group of local men were already diving into the waters from the cliff. It looked dangerous but those guys did it effortlessly. After splashing around a bit in the waterfall, we decided to explore more of this peaceful tourist destination by heading towards the Grand Etang rainforest.

The entire trail was covered with wet mud. This was not what I was expecting but luckily we had worn our hiking boots. As we sloshed around in the mud and continued on the trail I started tiring and reaching the end of the trail seemed impossible. But I persevered without forgetting to enjoy the sights and sounds of Grenada. At last we reached the end of the muddy trail and I was covered in mud but still ecstatic. Hiking in Grenada was fun. It turned out to be a perfectly peaceful tourist destination. I was proud of myself and decided to go on more hiking trips from then on, not just in Grenada but back home as well.
