we started from our airbnb at black diamond with first destination to famous saint-james distillery on the northern side of the island, nearby saint-marie town. the 50km journey took us about an hour. the entry is free, there is a small museum as well as a degustation and shopping area. from there we took off towards another famous distrillery which is habitaction clement, with a slight detour to presque ile de la caravelle to admire some views of the east coast of the island. here we reached a road which was not suitable for our renault clio, what adventures lay beyond? :) habitacion clement is a huge estate, with a botanic garden, museums, art galleries, and of course rum tasting (even smelling) areas. the overall experience is fantastic and we ended up with two mango maracuya (passion fruit) rum punch bottles. we left as the estate was closing at 6pm and drove back to our marinotel in le diamant. the whole trip took us about 8hrs and we covered roughly 130km distance
