You step out of the air-conditioned van into heat that smells faintly of sugarcane and salt — Kingstown’s harbor falling away below you. The morning begins at a small local bar where rums of different ages are lined up like a map of the island’s history; tasting is relaxed, surrounded by conversation and the clack of dominoes.
