And unfortunately, our ship doesn't dock as in the picture above. Our ship docked at the Naval
Station, somewhere to the left of the photo. From there, we were shuttled to the downtown area.
Well, I would have to say, Key West was our least favorite port of call of this trip. Way,way,way too many tourists in too small a space! We were only there for about 4 hours of available time, so there wasn't much time to see much 'touristy' stuff. A way overpriced pirate museum which didn't take long (about .75/minute each), and the souvenir shop of the Hog's Breath Saloon; couldn't even get close to the bar to try their namesake beer!
However...
Yes, Tortuga Rum Cakes...
Perhaps the greatest cake in the world...perhaps the universe! And available at a shop with a pirate out front. These (expensive-but worth every penny) cakes do have rum in them, and come in many wonderful flavors; my favorite - banana. And at the shop, you can sample them all! Yes, all. And, interestingly enough, on our last cruise 7 years ago, we saw the original Rum Cake factory on Grand Cayman. So if you ever get a chance, remember...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...rum cake! It's the pirate's favorite cake...and mine...
