By the time we arrived at the hotel we were exhausted...I do believe the late Saturday night at Duncan's Bay...dancing and partying the night away was finally catching up with us. We didn't have long to relax as we had reservations at GeeJam and we wanted to get there before sunset to look around.
When we arrived we had a drink at the bar and we ventured down the many steps to the recording studio. The was a young man from England doing some recording work, and he let us come in and look around. He said that Rihanna and Drake have recorded there a few times.
The view from the Bushbar restaurant was gorgeous....

We wined and dined, but in all honesty the food was just average...not quite what I would have expected for the reviews we read and especially for the price. I have put together and styled more exciting dishes ( if I do say so myself...lol ) for half the cost. In hindsight, we might have been wiser to go for a drink and lunch.
But we made the best of it..,,, I ordered the jerk shrimp and hubby had a mayo lobster dish.

We had plans to get up bright and early and head for Long Bay Beach and work our way back.... :)

We hopped in the car and headed towards Long Bay. The roads winded around the coastline and the views and scenery were stunning. This was the first photo of the morning I couldn't believe my eyes when we pulled up and I got out and saw the most picturesque island with gorgeous turquoise waters.
Monkey Island...

It was a perfect time of the day....the beach was basically deserted....open air, sand beneath our toes...and the gorgeous blue waters .....

Down the beach we noticed a couple of bar/restaurants on the beach....so we drove down a bit further to get a cold ting. We met a nice young man and a rasta selling jewlery on the beach. Such nice and friendly people....it was a pleasure chatting and spending time with them.
I gave the rasta a couple of dollars for the beads in his hand as he didn't have any braclets and I wasn't in the market for a necklace.
