Today is our last full day here. We fly home tomorrow and can't wait to see Grady! Day 6 we took no pictures. We just lounged by the beach and on our balcony reading most of the day. Today, our 7th day, we went to the west side of the island to go snorkeling. On our way there we saw the Cruzan Rum Distillery and decided to go by and take a tour. Then we went on to our snorkeling. We really loved this one beach. We saw a huge stingray, starfish, and many other fish there. The other beach didn't have much, but there was an old canon that had fish living down in it. Then back here at our resort the water was finally calm enough that we could see clearly. There were huge sea urchins everywhere and lots of really beautiful coral and fish. All those pictures were with the water camera (will upload later). We took a few pictures of our favorite views and spots here at the resort as it was our last day.
A view of Mermaid Beach.
The Roseway sailboat way out at sea. It has these beautiful red sails on it.
View from our balcony.
Beautiful flowers everywhere!
The Cruzan Rum Distillery
The rum fermenting. It stunk so bad to me.
Our tour guide, Pedro.
The waste after fermenting. It is cooled, watered down and emptied into the ocean. This is mostly molasses and water.
Big barrels of rum.
These guys were emptying barrels of rum to go into the holding tanks. The rum goes out and through a filter under the barrels. The room that was holding the thousands of barrels made us both think of Captain Jack from Pirates of the Carribean! He would love this! haha!
Um, yeah, this place looked disgusting on the outside. My first question to Richard was, do they sterilize anything here? A man heard me and said, I guess the alcohol does the job.
