one (of many) reasons why i've been having such a HARD-time posting these reports, is that around EVERY corner there're distractions

pic above.. the world-famouns '.Lucea VerandaH.'

I (and many others) have sat pon that wall
..chilling
..chatting
..sipping
..eating
..whatever

the Jamaican Tourist Board should put the VerandaH on their '.must-see.' list

anyhooooooooooooooooo

*behind*/adjacent to the verandah is a nice local bar
...CravenA... Ja$30
..Heniken.. JA$150
.

and inside/behind the bar
and behind the Veranda is a small cook-shop with EXCELLENT food at excellent prices

check 'em out when next you pass thru

Questions for route driver:
Do you own your vehicle or lease it?
What do you think of drivers who drive crazy or too fast?
I once took a route cab when the driver was smoking you know what and had a beer between his legs. Would he do that?

i can answer,
but later when i catch-up with Micheal i'll let him put it in HIS words

my-words:::>> NO..!!..

one driver said:::>> he STOPPED driving the Negril/Lucea route BECAUSE it was tooooo dangerous, with those *crazy* drivers ... he said the beach road was too-dangerous, as well as the balance of the road along that route

another driver told me:::>> same thing

i'll continue to try to remember to ask others

smoking & drive-ing:::>> Micheal don't smoke nutin'.... no weed... no tobacco
i'm not sure, but i don't think he drinks either/neither
this i do know::>> when-ever i ride with him
..i'll ask to stop for a Heiniken
..and offer him something

all he ever wants is a soda

again... i'll let him answer

Felt bad for Michael the cab driver being asked about carrying stinky people. Lots of different stinks on people, perfumes, cigarette smoke, (other smoke), body odour. Rough interview rude boy smith744;)
