Yachts, schooners
and water-taxis ply St. George’s harbour,
the pastel-washed buildings of its picturesque
‘Carenage’ forming the perfect backdrop.
Cobbled streets climb the hill to take you out
of town and into the scented centre of this sleepy
Spice Island, to cinnamon and nutmeg groves, waterfall
cascades, dormant volcanoes draped in lush rainforests
and a 30-acre blue lake cradled in crater.
At
the island’s southwestern tip are the sands
of Grand Anse beach, beckoning like the sea sirens
with promise of life in the slow lane, turning
escapism into an art form.
