Day 6

We decided to spend the early part of today on the beach. DH & I woke up pretty early and walked over to Kuyaba for breakfast. He wanted to try some of the kind breakfast I had on my first morning there. There is nothing like that view first thing in the morning. I feel so blessed that we were able to experience it.

I opted for a lobster omelette this time around. Had to get my share since it was the last breakfast in Negril. We had some company this morning while eating.

While we were eating breakfast, the security guard pulled up 2 lounge chairs for us so we proceeded to have sand gravity for 3 or 4 hours. It was too windy for umbrella's so we managed to get partial shade under one of the trees. We had a cooler packed with some red stripes and Malta's. We were in total chill mode and loving it. The black and white beach dog that was in a previous picture that I posted was lying on the beach, very ill. People were giving him water and placing him into the shade. It was sad. He was so full of life every other day I saw him. At some point I thought I need to something more for the dog but when I tried to find him, he was gone.

I had sun poisoning on my feet from previous days and couldn't hang anymore so after a few rum and juices, we decided to grab some patties & head back to Pure Garden to chill a bit. I headed next door to Times Square to pick up some souvenirs to bring home. There is a shop that is owned by a Chinese dude that has the best prices in that place. I think he's in shop 17 but not positive. Mr. T had told me about that particular spot and his prices on items were just a fraction of what the others charge. I bought some rum cakes, key chains, bracelets and a few other trinkets. Our room at PG was great because we could people watch at Time Square and nobody could see us. I did feel sorry for all the peeps that were on the tour buses for having to see JA from that point of view. I wonder where they were all coming from??? Major tour bus activity at that place.

After a bit of shopping I hung out on our porch at PG and enjoyed a few beerss.

Seriously, If anyone knows where all the tour buses come from to Times Square, I am curious!

A little Red Stripe Trivia Fact:

When we buy Red Stripe in USA, it's brewed in Latrobe PA. In JA it's brewed in Kingston at Desnoes & Geddes. Desnoes & Geddes makes my new favorite non alcoholic beverage. Malta. We brought 4 of them back with us and now they are gone. Wish I still had one.

Canadians are still fortunate enough to have their Red Stripes brewed in JA.

To me, the Red Stripe brewed in PA is nothing like what we get in JA. I wish we could get the "real stuff" in the States!
