| 40 minute drive from Galley Bay and we arrive | | | | Now Shirley Heights is buzzing as more and more |
| around 4.45pm and pay the entrance fee of $7.00 | | | | locals turn up and dance the night away, there's a |
| US per person, and the place is rammed to the | | | | great tasting barbeque and more rum punch to help |
