Before lunch we stopped at the Spice and Herb garden where we got to smell, taste, and feel many herbs and got the local remedies they are used for. The plants in order are tamarind, an all-spice tree and then a cocoa tree.
After a quick lunch stop we went to the Clark’s Court Rum Factory. We had been here 6 years ago and John, being the mechanical engineer, was so fascinated with the steam driven engine. Since then, unfortunately, the factory had a fire and with the help of hurricane Ivan (which depleted the Islands sugar cane), the factory is now running on more modern methods but we got a tour of the old engine and factory anyway.
What a great way to start the season!
