Learned some fun things about pirates of the Caribbean.
We also visited the Graycliff hotel. History has it that the Graycliff mansion was originally built in 1740 by Captain John Howard Graysmith, a famous pirate of the Caribbean who commanded the notorious schooner Graywolf and plundered treasure ships along the Spanish Main.
It is the home of Graycliff Cigar Company founded by Enrico Garzaroli. Their most famous cigar - The Graycliff - was blended by Master Torcedore Avelino Lara. Once Fidel Castro’s personal roller, Lara is famous for his creations at the El Laguito Factory outside of Havana, where he created blends for Cohiba, Davidoff and among others.
We went in to see the cigar rollers make the cigars right in front of us. It was a very cool experience.
The Graycliff also had it's own chocolate shop. We couldn't miss that so we got some chocolates.
And. tried a rum shot from a chocolate shot glass.
It was a beautiful view of Nassau from the government house.
We would stop for some refreshments when we got thirsty.
My first coconut!
My second coconut!
I had it opened so I could eat the coconut meat.
Bahamas heat makes on thirsty.
Our favorite were banana daiquiris.
And, of course we spent sometime at the beach in our fancy new floppy hats.
It was a very relaxing few days and I am glad I took the time to make this fun girls trip.
But, I was very happiest coming home to my boys!
So fun! When are you taking me on an exotic girls trip?
