...you get the most awesome smells of cinnamon & nutmeg all around the island! It is THE BEST!We took a small tour before we hit the beach, and we made a stop at a small spice shop. The island is FILLED with them (which is great for me:) They showed us all the uses for fresh nutmeg, cocoa, cinnamon & saffron...
Even this guy couldn't get enough of the spices...:)
We picked up a few spices and THIS...."Hot Chocolate" made with fresh cocoa beans!
I can't wait to try it out to see if it actually works!
After getting nice and crispy on the beach, we headed back to the ship and discovered a little something at the buffett called "Afternoon Snacks"....which was kind of almost a brunch...but with even MORE desserts....
On that plate is a slice of key lime pie, dulce de leche cheesecake, a waffle with vanilla sauce and whipped cream, some custardy bread pudding and a little "maple sponge cake." I'm not gonna even cop to how much of this plate I actually ate. Nope, I'll never tell...but let's say EVERYTHING was KILLER!! ;)

And Scott got a garden salad...
Our main course that night was the big Cruise ship spectacular: The Fisherman's Plate with lobster & shrimp! Heaven, pure heaven!!! Although I felt bad for the waiters who had to shuck all those lobsters after they were served...
Dessert was a "dessert sampler trio"....on the right was a soaked little cake, kinda reminiscent of a baba au rhum. The middle cake was just a plain sponge cake, so the piece de resistance was that little chocolate mound of heaven. It tasted like pure ganache and was just SINFUL!
We wrapped up day 6 with some drinks and some singing at the piano bar....
...and then collapsed! We had officially reached the tired point by now! ;) Here's one other thing I thought I'd share. So ya know how I told you we collect magnets and mugs? Well, here were 2 of my favorite from this trip:
I loved the hand painted look of the St. Lucia one...and how appropriate was the Grenada one???:) I love that it has no handle, since I rarely hold a coffee mug by the handle. Is that weird, or do other people do that too?
