I traveled with two other Asians, and we obviously did not look or sound like locals. No hablo Espanol? We rented a car and drove around the northern part of the island (no, there were no problems).
We drove to the Bacardi Rum Factory to learn about the history of the company and how much they have changed over the years. Not really. We drove persistently to get hammered and buy inexpensive alcohol. But a 20-minute drive took us an hour, because we got lost a lot.
It didn't matter that we got lost as every road is scenic. And whenever we stopped for directions, the locals were always very patient and willing to help out. The service for both low and high class restaurants was par excellence. We wouldn't even scrimp on tipping our hotel waiter. It felt like home a lot.
At night, we chanced upon attending the launch of Hypnotic in the hotel we're staying in. It's a trendy new mixer/liquor brand that tastes very good alone or with other alcohol.
And what do they say about trendy drinks? They are drank by - yes, the most beautiful people I have ever seen. It felt like a catwalk all the time. My friends and I were just sitting there with our cocktails in awe, paying attention on the beautiful women, even more than the men.
Overall, it was a very good trip. It was hard to go back our our daily grind but we took plenty of photos as I show you below. I am definitely going back.
