Over Christmas my brother Ben and I spent time diligently, nay selflessly, going from bar to bar putting up flyers for the Tropical Pressure Festival.

This is an annual event that takes place in deepest Cornwall so putting up adverts in Grand Cayman makes perfect sense.

Ben is one of the organisers and wanted to send pictures to his colleagues of him advertising the event far and wide and he thought it would be a laugh to send some pictures in from the actual Caribbean.

After a week of dedicated flyering we sent off a range of photos including Ben’s favourite spot Macabuca in Westbay.

Scroll forward six months and we are in the U.K. on holiday catching up with family. We headed down to Cornwall and today we made it to day one of the Tropical Pressure Festival where we were met by this fellow:

Inspired by his visit to the Cayman Islands Ben, who is the bar manager for the festival, has named two of the bars after watering holes he visited over Christmas!

Rum Point and the main bar Macabuca.

The festival is lovely, a real family event with jazz, reggae, salsa, drums, art and circus acts on the site.

The weather was stunning just like being in the Caribbean! And I would know.
