>> anthony: hello. during world war ii, british naval intelligence officer ian fleming came to jamaica on a secret mission to investigate possible u-boat activity. like the legendary character he would later create, he was a spy. the mission came to nothing, but fleming fell immediately in love with the island and vowed to return, which he did, buying this place, goldeneye. at the time considered very spartan, a cottage, a single room really, a few smaller rooms in the back, but an incredible view. he spent much of the rest of his life here writing a book each year at this desk.
9:19 pm
you know those books. today, fleming's cottage has been enlarged and made more luxurious as a hotel, but the original house still stands along with some improvements. grotto, eh? what did every young american boy want? every red-blooded american male born in 1956, i can tell you. they wanted a grotto. it sounded pretty good to me at 12. as i got older i started to think about these things, like, "exactly who was in that grotto before me" becomes more of a concern as you grow up. it's like -- did ron jeremy just leave the grotto? am i the first one in the grotto? has someone changed the water in the grotto? these were -- these were concerns later in life, but this was it. i wanted a grotto. i still kind of do. thank you so much.
9:20 pm
this is totally better than the playboy mansion. you know that the playboy mansion totally smells like old man ear stink. the current owner of goldeneye is another unusual man, chris blackwell, legendary music producer turned hotelier. over the years, blackwell has expanded the property into a resort. its gates reaching right up to the fishing beach at neighboring oracabessa. blackwell has big plans for the area. the next day, i leave goldeneye's luxurious embrace, headed into town for something, well, i just had to have. a long time favorite.
