Tour of Carriacou Febuary 27,2012

Carriacou is the second largest island in the island nation of Grenada.  Only three of the islands are populated by any sizable group of people.

The group of Cruisers which went on the tour with us.

Old tree with orchids growing from it's limbs as parasites.

An old windmill used to crush sugar cane,  been out of use for just a few years, you think?

The town of Hillsborough, the largest on this island, from a vantage of the hospital on the hill named Belair.

The hospital was built there due to an epidemic outbreak of malaria ,Belair is french for good air.  The elevation at this point is 759 ft. although it is not the highest point on Carriacou the wind is always blowing due to the trade winds coming off of the Atlantic and that keeps the mosquitoes away.
