Shaken not stirred – attracted by James Bond and his fondness for Nassau and Paradise Island my favourite 3 drinking mates and me did a side trip from Florida to the Bahamas in 1993. While strolling through the lush air of tropical Nassau we came across a German beer joint. It was run by the then German Honorary Consul. „Honorary” does unfortunately not mean that the incumbent would get any royalty but honor. German Honorary Consuls need to make their living by serious business. Business seemed to be booming since the elderly Consul bought us greenhorns (too) many rounds of beer. We finally missed our return flight to Miami.
