After getting a bus into town, I set about walking towards the building which is supposed to house the centre, and the tasting of the most famous local rum (the world's oldest, apparently). Unfortunately, the gods were not with me this day, as after walking around the perimeter twice I could still not find a way to get in.
So I headed back along the highway (walking) in the midday heat to get a bus back to the hotel. Before finding a bus stop, I came across the iconic cricket stadium. There was no match going on, so it was all pretty deserted, which was great for me to walk around a little and not have people in the way all the time.
Once on a bus, doing the usual route, I decided to get off early and visit Garrison (which is where the British garrison was originally stationed). It is now home to a racecourse, with canons all pointing inwards.
Once back, we packed our bags and then set off for lunch close by. What a way to go than the final meal at Just Grillin'. Great food yet again, and the juices as well were lovely. Of course we couldn't just have our main dish. No, we had to pop by the ice-cream parlour and have one last taste of those local flavours.
The hotel driver then took us to the airport where we had to stand in a non air-conditioned part of the terminal in a queue for 45 minutes before we could check in.
Once through security off to the souvenir shops it was, as we picked up some local tipple and other memorabilia.
Once boarded, we said our goodbyes to a country that had treated us so well, with lots of fond memories and the wish to return soon.
Four films later we landed in the UK where the temperature was about 11 degrees. Nothing quite says "welcome home" as good as that...
