One door a day
The road to the island
A new door opens every morning until we fly. Facts, songs for the trip, a few riddles.

Good to know
Island notes
- We drive on the left. Rum Point and the East End are each about an hour from Seven Mile Beach.
- Most shops and big supermarkets close on Sunday, so we stock up Saturday.
- Bars close at midnight on Saturday and Sunday.
- The big festivals happen earlier in November, so the island should be calm and easy.
- Worth booking ahead: the glowing-water kayak and Crystal Caves.
- Places marked "call first" keep island hours, so a quick call saves a wasted drive.
