I made my way to Saint Elizabeth for the Joy Spence Appleton Estate Rum Tour recently. The tours run Monday to Saturday starting at 9:00am with the last tour at 3:00pm daily.
One thing I've learned about St Elizabeth is that the parish's evening-nightlife is really lacking. If you plan on visiting the parish, start out early so you can be in the parish by 9:00am so you may visit another destination or two. By 3:00pm they start to wind down and all the adventure spots close their doors by 4:00pm, which really kinda sucks.

On my way back home, I stopped by Murray's Fish & Jerk Hut and had a cup of Mannish Water aka Goat Head Soup (which was lacking because it was really hot salt water -___-) and Jerk Chicken with Festivals.

Check out the Appleton Rum Tour when next you visit the island or make a road trip to St. Elizabeth with good friends / family. The rum flowed, the tour guide was engaging and the vibe of the tour was right. What can I say but I awakened my spirit on this tour.
Go experience the tour for yourself and tell me what you think about it.
