The drive was short but not uneventful. My navigating via a marginal rental car map led us to a tour of town on amazingly narrow curvy city streets.  We had to concede defeat and stop to ask a local for directions.  “Oh, you are not even close.”  He proceeded to draw a great map that led us right there.  We still had to contend with the street in front of the hotel changing to one way against us but we figured it out.  About this time Kent figures out that our Garmin mostly works here so navigating got much simpler for the rest of the trip.

It is a fun little place to say. It seems to grow organically up the steep slopes with a couple guestrooms or the restaurant or pool on each level so there are steps no matter which way you want to go.

We had dinner on property at the Sugar cane Grill. Drinks were tasty; Rum Punch, Pina Colada, and a daiquiri.  We start with some delicious jerk chicken then go all seafood, a seafood medley for Kent a grilled octopus salad for me.  A slice of key lime pie tops it off nicely.

We walk Main Street; can you say Cruise Ship Shopping Mecca.  I don’t think I have ever seen this many jewelry stores per block anywhere else.  A relaxing walk back along the shoreline was a better part of the stroll for me.  Wednesday morning we check out Blackbeard’s Castle and 99 steps as part of a walk through the historic district.  The views a beautiful.
