Yay today is Jamaica day. We weren't getting in to port until 10.30 so we had a sleep in and a heart breakfast and got ready for what I was hoping a better day in Jamaica.
Once we got off the ship we realised it was even hotter than Haiti. So we went through the terminal and headed for the taxi/buses. We found a bus and finally got on with an American couple who have done this cruise 3 times so offered some great suggestions. So off we went to Montego Bay. Beautiful beach but full of tourists so paul and the boys went snorkelling while Linda and I headed to the beach bar. We made friends with a local chakra and spent the day drinking rum and cocktails with chakra and a fellow Aussie Sandy from the ship who is also staying in the hotel we are staying in at NY for Xmas and new year. So many laughs and photos later we hopped on the bus with our driver that says ye mon a million times in every sentence.
It was good to leave the main town area as we had been offered drugs many times, even the kids were asked how old they were by the people offering drugs, such a nice neighbourhood. So after a rum fuelled bus ride back we headed back on board.
Yet again we had an amazing meal and then headed to the aqua show. Amazing show with a talent of divers and swimmers. So after all that I think it is time for some zzzzz's. Tomorrow is a sailing day so we can sleep in before some on board activities, ice skating and watching the belly flop competition is pencilled in but we have a lot of hours to fill so who knows.
But a big thumbs up for Jamaica.....a chilled out relaxed place with awesome people and cocktails.
Linda had a hair in her potato at dinner so they gave us a free bottle of champagne....that little blonde hair was a winner
