Milk River Bath

The highest radioactive mineral bath in the world (50 times more so than Vichy, France and three times those of Karlsbad in the Czech Republic) Milk River Baths claims to provide temporary relief from the pain of arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, gout, sciatic nerve, lumbago, and nervous conditions. Some even believe taking a drink of the water will enhance the healing powers. Up to four people can enjoy a bath in one of six small private rooms. Because of the level of radioactivity you are limited to no more than a 30 minute bath. Also available on the property is a modest 20 room hotel, restaurant, and masseuse. This attraction is very popular with Jamaicans and can become crowded on weekends and holidays.

I have been to Milk River Bath and Bath in St Thomas a few times and really enjoy the hot water but the Milk River Bath is a little scary to me. I wouldn't purchase a piece of property just outside the gates of Chernobyl either! (grin) What if you fell asleep in the spa and the attendant forgot to wake you in 30 minutes??? :eek:

A safer alternative and not as long a drive would be to go to Bubbling Spring Mineral Bath http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/2...business1.html in Middle Quarters.

Maybe I am just getting too cautious in my old age but I don't cross the road outside a crosswalk either! :cool:

Great idea though, Jim and Donna, for what ails you.

Peace and Guidance

I like good ole Mayfield Falls. Very nice ride up there and Mayfield is a BLAST!

Well I just don’t know what to say about Monday. It was an interesting day. We saw the opening of Chez Kory’s Breakfast Joint and after that it gets a little hazy lol!!

I woke up early as I always do and started off with a luke warm Red Stripe. Turns out my flat mate doesn’t know which way to turn the dial on the fridge to make it colder….silly skinny guy! I made my way out to the office area at the NBCC so I could get some wifi access and send my trip report. I love it out there its just me and some pixels along with the sunrise.

After I finished my report I headed back to the room and chilled on our deck. Our friends were going to come over later as they wanted to go shopping with B who is the queen of shopping in Negril. We have the most awesome furniture on our Deck….the rooms….aside from the beds….are sweet and the deck is certainly the best part! I had a few Red Stripes and lounged. About 9 or so I went in and woke up my gorgeous wife and we started our plans for the day. Her’s included taking folks to Sun Island Outlet and Times Square. Mine included getting really drunk on our deck! Looking around this morning I think both goals were fulfilled! LOL!

When everyone got there I made Breakfast for the crew....all 8 of them! They needed fuel for the shopping adventures ahead! LOL! It was a simple breakfast of eggs and toast....Tuesday sounds like omelet day to me! :)

Kevin and I managed to avoid the shopping brigade. DK and Doc went on their grocery run and B took her gaggle with her on their escapades. I don’t know if there is such a thing as deck gravity but if there is I was consumed by it! Most of the day was consumed by conversations that I don’t remember lol.

Later on after a nap B and I went down to Bar B Barn for some supper. She had the curried chicken, which was great, I had the Garlic Butter Lobster, which as great as well. I really do love that little bar of theirs. After a few more Stripes we loaded up and headed back to the room for a sleep.

I think we are actually going to sit on the beach today. The seas are pretty rough though so we will see what is up with that.

I am in full Negril mode now. I have everything I need and all our errands are done. I might take a trip up to Sav to get a foamy for added softness for B's Bed. She has lots of pain and the concrete mattresses need a bit of adjusting down here. We will work it out as we always do and everything will be irie! :)

I will try and actually get some pictures today.....damn Red Stripe! :P

Rough Seas....Not good so I hope they calm down by time I get there. Love reading your report!!!

Thanks again! This really goes good right now. We fly Wednesday and will be at Blue Cave Castle in time for sunset. WOOOO HOOOO,,,

Great report Crusher. Looking forward to more. I think I land on your departure date this year. One of these years our trips will overlap and we'll run into each other.

Have you been by Rooms yet. Just wondering what's happening to the new vendor area that was fenced off recently. One of my favourite beach vendors was set up by the wall there next to Rooms. I try to buy something from her every reach just to support her. Wondering if she's been displaced. Her name is Sandy.

Loving the report, helps me get over just getting back and already counting down the days until we can go back:) We also started our first trip to Jamaica at Riu in Ocho Rios, big difference from Negril. Not a bad place to hang your hat but Negril is more of what we were looking for. Hope you all have a great rest of your trip.

Red Stripe shortage yet?:)

Sandy is my favorite too, Craig and I was wondering the same thing....... hope she's nearby

WAKE UP Crusher!!!- We are waiting:)

Tuesday. Oy vey.

So the sea is really rough down here right now so we haven’t been spending a lot of time at the beach. The room we have has an awesome deck and it seems to be were we have moored ourselves until the wind and the waves pass.

We spent part of the morning counting the Red Stripe Caps on our deck table…….a good part of the day! :P Lets just say I ordered the second truck early my friends! LOL!

I made an epic breakfast of sweet pepper red onion mushroom and freshly grated cheese omelettes with toast. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. As we were chilling we concocted a plan to go visit Colette at her Bar. I don’t know how many of you who have been there but its awesome…..the beers are cold and the hugs are plentiful! :)

B wasn’t feeling up the trip so it was just me DK and Kevin who made our way down. As always we got the front row seating! I do love that little spot on the side of the road. We drank many beers and shared many laughs. Colette put a few braids in DK’s hair and Kevin ended up bartending! LOL! The look on the locals faces when they came in was funny as hell seeing a 6’2 white guy behind the bar! I think he even managed a few tips lol!

After a while I made my way back to the NBCC and chilled. Just another day in Jamaica! :)

The internet is broken at the NBCC so I am down at Travellers....the things I do for you people! :P

So its like 8:30AM...I'm half in the bag already...the ocean is still crazy rough......oh my liver! LOL!!!!

Yuo are making me homesick! Another great report. Enjoy your day!

I am doing my best....lol.....the girls at Travellers are giving me a hard time....saying I need to have a drink a detox drink lol! :)

Drink a magnum:)

I don't need help with that bro! :P

Our last reach in June, I was trying to make it to go visit and meet Collette's place. But ran out of time. Next reach I WILL MAKE TIME to go to Collette's place!!!~ THANKS bro for the report many of us look forward to everyday!- Now go make breakfast and hit up the deck and Red Stripes!!- I hear the truck is looking for you!!~ Respect!

I'm down at Travellers drinking Earl Grey Tea and Red Stripe....and yes.....getting some funny stares! LOL!

Loving all the pictures!

Sounds like you having a blast ! When you said you were moored, I thought it said ""mooned"", I thought already.....:) I would say save some Red Stripe for me, but I'm a vodka drinker,
so proceed...........Vince, what is a Magnum ?

Magnum is a really sweet high test red wine drink. Does not go good with Redstripe! I will be arriving on Monday and am getting a little concerned about the Redstripe supply?:cool:

Between Crusher, Poolguywinsor, & my friends in bldg A, the Red Stripe bottling plant may want to work overtime!:rolleyes:

with PWG and Crusher there, Red Stripe is going to love ya'll!!!

Just 2 more days of work and me and my crew will be joining you. Were you able to get the foam mattress cover for your wife?

Are the seas rough because of the weather system affected the East Coast?

Looks like Building B 2nd floor 2br unit.

Just saw a video from this morning, rough seas! Not travelling alone either, Uncle Johnny is coming with me! Two Redstrpes every round!

Yeah we got her all hooked up!

Wednesday.

So the internet wasn't working at the office so I had to make my way the road to Travellers and partake in the free wifi at the bar. I was double fisting Red Stripe and Earl Grey Tea! I know seems like a strange combo but it is what it is!

I sat there for a while and was joined by Denise after a couple of hours. We made plans for the SuperBowl and reserved a table. I had it in my mind to head out to Sav la Mar as I needed another 'sponge' for Brenda and Doc needed to pay for his insurance. So Doc and I loaded into his car, we bought some road beers and headed on the way to Sav. I don't know what goes on in the insurance office but it took for freaking ever! I sat out in the parking lot for like an hour. We eventually got everything squared away and got Doc all fixed up.

I had a couple of things we needed one being the sponge for the bed and the other being a pot to cook our curry chicken in. We managed both at the same spot thankfully and then we were on our way back to Negril. Our friends who are staying in Montego were doing a day trip to come visit us so I needed to make my way back to hang out with them. When we got back to Negril we made a short stop at The Corner Bar for some Jerk Chicken and Rice. We picked up some stuff for Annette as well and we ran it up to her.

We spent the rest of the day at the beach. The ocean is rough right now but everyone braved it and had fun in the waves. We eventually made our way back to the room and had a mini party on our deck.

It was a good day! :)

I took a bunch of pictures and will post them later.

Did I hear pictures:)- If you team up with PWG, no that's a Red Stripe a thon!!~ Thanks Crusher for taking time for your trip report. Cheers bro!

I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures!! It will pass the time until we arrive tomorrow!!!

Congrats Jamerican71 on your return back home!!~ Ahhh, the sleepless night tonight:)

Great report Crusher,please keep it coming!

[QUOTE=Vince;153610]Congrats Jamerican71 on your return back home!!~ Ahhh, the sleepless night tonight:)[/QUOTE

I'm about to burst with total excitement. I am going to try to sleep tonight since it's an early flight! I get excited every trip and folks always ask me if this is my first trip to Jamaica. I laugh and tell them I've been going since I was 6 months old since I lived there when I was a kid and then been back numerous times since we emigrated to the US (Thanks to my Jamaican daddy and my American mommy). I sure do miss when travel to Jamaica was on their dime!

^^^LOL,-So our next on site trip report is on you!!!!-LOL~ Safe travels mon!

Thursday.

I don't know what happened to my photos I was pretty sure I downloaded them on the computer but I can't find them. Sorry folks.

So the sea is really rough down here right now. Seems to me it was like this last year too. Apparently there is a cold front up the Atlantic that is causing this. We didn't care and went in the ocean anyways. We spent hours out there....enough that I got a bit of a burn going. We had lots of fun riding the waves.

We had supper at Sunset After Dark and then a small deck party after.

Yes this is a bit abbreviated! Oy vey! :P
