I've got to find my way back, back to summer paradise - Nov 2011 Trip Report

[CherryNorth49]

We did want to have dessert and coffee, but needed a bit of digesting time. We also each had a glass of wine left to enjoy. After the waiter checked back twice about our ordering dessert, I finally asked him (nicely) if we could just sit undisturbed and enjoy our wine and the view of the cove. It is beautifully lit at night and you can actually see fish down in the water. I told him when our wine glasses were empty, we would order dessert. He seemed to finally get the idea and left us be for the fifteen or twenty minutes it took us to finish up.

For dessert, we opted to have coffee and share a slice of rum cake. In case we were in danger of sobering up, Sunshine suggested we each also have a 12 year old Appleton on the rocks. It was my first taste of the vintage Appleton and I was in love. Lucky for us both, it was a seriously generous pour.

At some point along the way, I did need to find the ladies room. I had crossed the line over to drunken bathroom photos, which unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I seem to have deleted.

Well fed and watered, we paid our bill without incident and headed towards to road to get a cab. We went out a bit of a back door, so didn't end up using one of the cabs from Rockhouse. A red plate stopped as we stepped out the gate, so we chartered him back to the hotel with a stop at Shamrocks.

We had enjoyed the rum so much that we bought a bottle of it at Shamrocks. The fellow had to dust off the box, which had me humming a little David Lee Murphy in my head:

"There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya 'bout what's inside.
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time."

(here is the video, should you feel the need to sing along. I've been mocking 80s hair for a while but yikes, the 90s are starting to feel the same way!)

Our usual orange juice, stripe, snacks and now rum in hand, we headed back to Rooms to enjoy the rest of our evening.
