My dad woke me up early this morning b/c we're suppose to rent bikes and bike to the south island (which is on the opposite side of the island). I was actually enthuased about this idea becuase we were also going to stop at the Bacardi Distillary. But once we went across the street to rent the bikes we discovered thatm they didn't rent bicycles, they only rented scooters. Now had we been in the states I may have actually considered this option. But they drive crazy in the Bahamas (think Mexico...) and on the left side. I figured that I already beat the odds just by getting to the Bahamas and I really did want to get on the boat... alive. So then we thought of renting a car, so after a few calls we found an "economy" car priced right for 3 days. What we got was a tiny, tiny Suszuki whatever (reminds me of Mario's old civic). But anyway, they actually rented it to me(your suppose to be 25), since I have the AMEX (shout out to my cash-back costco-amex card w/ free accident insurance) and I therefore became the chauffer for the day. Driving on left is actually a lot easier then I ever imagined. I don't know if its b/c I normally don't drive on my side of the road back home or if I just adapted quickly... but turns still freak me out and the "give way" signs (I don't know which way to give way) but I think I am getting the hang of it.

The Barcardi Distillary was so cool. We took a tour with a young couple from Australia and an older couple from NY who all evidently stay at our hotel...?... I learned so many interesting facts i wish I would have taken notes. For instances, all the rum ages at least two years in "used" barrels that are bought from other spirit makers like Jack Daniels. The dark color comes from the barrels (because they are orginally charred inside). Before entering the storage warehouse we were warned to enter at our own risks, becuase you can get contact buzz from inhaling the alcohol fumes in the air... the rum in the barrels is either 191 or 178 proof (they add water and flavors later on).

After the tour we were invited to their bar where we're able to try any and all of the products that we wished. I only had a daquier because I was driving (and had gone into the warehouse). Then we were able to go into the gift store and buy barcardi at "Factory" prices. But sadly I can't bring any on the ship so I couldn't really buy anything to bring home :-( Good thing I don't like rum...
And finally, my dad and I found a small public beach called "Jaw's Beach" and went snorkeling. We didn't see anything terrible exciting b/c my dad was experience techincal difficulties and had to cut our trip to the reef short. Ohh well... I hear Puerto Rico has phenomial coral reefs.
