We arrived safe and sound on Grand Cayman after a wonderful flight, cleared Immigration and Customs then off to pick-up the rental car. We were off on a new adventure. It took us about an hour to drive from Georgetown through the little villages of the southern Cayman coast to The Reef Resort. This is a great end of the island, it is peaceful and quiet with a prevailing wind that keeps everything cool and comfortable outside. Wonderfully natural place with just enough of the convinces to be comfortable.
First stop after check in, the Tiki Bar and a chance to try a couple of good local rums.
Governor's Reserve is a really nice rum that is made here on the island by the Seven Fathoms Distillery is a really nice gold or spiced rum. The Tiki Bar has a small cask they keep on the bar filled with spice rum that is aging waiting to be enjoyed. It is really neat to have your rum drawn from a cask on the bar. It really adds a feeling of being a pirate in a remote island. It feels this way anyway because we are so far from the rest of the world.
The evening was a lot of fun sipping Havana Club Seven Year Old Rum and chatting with the really fun and friendly barman. It was a pleasure to enjoy the fine flavor of Havana Club Rum, a libation we are deprived of by our government of the "free" in America. Enough of my political comments and back to the fun. Sitting at a Tiki Bar watching the waves ebb and flow sipping rum, It just doesn't get any better. ;o)
