St Vincent by Ella 30-31 January

We arrived in St Vincent when it was pouring down with rain, the first thing I noticed was the rock where the three dead men were hung and Jack Sparrow took off his hat to pray from the film Pirates of the Caribbean, I was flabbergasted to see it and especially as I saw it first and pointed it out to everyone, even Dad was excited too.

When we had finally moored up, it felt like hours on end, I was desperate to get into the water, when Grandma Sue from the next boat came out and said she thought we should not swim as she had been stung over 72 times by tiny jellyfish in just over half an hour, I thought “Oh no!” We decided if we could not swim then we should go ashore and see a waterfall, as we arrived at the waterfall it was a big disappointment because the waterfall was so tiny and the water was not clear at all, the water looked more murky than England! As we left the water fall we noticed a nutmeg tree and decided to pick some. The nutmegs were so high up we could not reach them, not even Daddy and he is rather tall, so we were just about to go when I spotted another tree with nutmegs as close to the ground as half a meter. We picked a few nutmegs, I was very surprised when we opened them up, the first ones were not ready but when we found one that was ready it was covered in a bright red lines, it was very unusual. We only stayed one night, but that was OK.
