Day 3:
Attachment 17227Attachment 17228
I woke up early, again. I felt the need to watch the sun rise and it was a beautiful sight. Before coming to Jamaica I did a lot of research on the activities I wanted to do. The Palm Reserve was at the top of my list. We called a driver who said he could take us there but it was closed…he said we would need to bribe security with at least $10. I’m thinking to myself if the place is closed there was no way I was going to trespass. We declined but we did stop at the Negril Lighthouse. The tour guide told us about the history of the lighthouse…very interesting! I’m a history buff and I love hearing stories! Dre and I got all the way to the top. The stairs at the lighthouse are very steep and you have to walk at an awkward angle. The guide said we could stand out on the ledge but there was no way I was going out there…I don’t do heights.
Attachment 17229Attachment 17230Attachment 17231Attachment 17232Attachment 17233We checked out the yard around the lighthouse , saw an old cannon and inside was a giant seashell. Of course I took it out and put it in my bag... it was too good of a find to leave it there. We walked towards the back of the property and noticed the cliffs and the amazing blue water. That day was hot, the water looked inviting…I would have definitely jumped in, If I wasn’t afraid. We looked across the water/cliffs and noticed a place with a lot of people. Dre told me it was Ricks Café. I asked him if we could check it out later.

Great pics Kaycee!!! Thnx so much for sharing these. Your friend Dre is very talented...there is so much mass produced trinkets that when you see something like his work, it definately does not go unappreciated.
The picture of you holding the shell is gorgeous. Looks like you had an enlightening experience which to me are the best kind. Thank you for sharing your visit.
