Murph's Trip Report... new places, old faces and ROOKIE mistakes!!!

[two4today]

Awesome Dude! Love the 'Sharks'!!

[murph]

So we pass the "apparant" danger and then pass the infamous Pelican Bar. We wave to the crew as they too are on a boat and just about to get things set up. We let them know for later... "two fish!"

I take a couple random passerby shots of the coast...







Here's one ROOKIE MISTAKE that I didnt make but will point out so others dont... "Ocean front villas... are not always the best deal around!" hahaha




Next stop we turn into the Black River... pretty cool change of scenery. From beautiful blue ocean filled with sharks to the dark/black river filled will gators! Man its like being on an African safari (only feeling much much more irie!)

Just a harmless chameleon in that last picture Murph, no problem mon

So the Black River was a cool experience... we stopped off and had a couple stripes at a place right on the river. We also picked up a lil gator carving and a super sweet carving of like 6 birds on a tree. My moms loves birds so knock another one off the ol Xmas list! Damn Im good... Irie as can be... having the time of our lives.. and were still productive! Gotta love that.



Coming out of the river into the ocean- and its just a short jount to the Pelican Bar. Its amazing how you do so much research on a place... then you finally get there! Its almost sureal...

Here's some pics of our time at the Pelican.









We only drank 1 drink at the pelican. ONE! Well it was more like a 1/2 glass of overproof with a splash of mango juice. Gots to be careful with the OP!






Our Thanksgiving feeesh! SOOO Tasty.... sooooo right.... soooo THANKFUL!




Thats when I witnessed another ROOKIE mistake!!! Poor guy it was like in slow motion... girl asks boy "we should go snorkling." Boy attempts to head to where the boats are anchored. Boy isnt wearing water shoes... boy makes it to the boat, drops his snorkling equipment and grabs his foot with a holy shnikies look on his face. Snorkle gear floats away in the currant... girl looking on like WTF... boy swims to fetch his gear... boy swims back to the Pelican and is in PAIN. Sea Urchins=1; Boy's foot=0.

Please people wear water shoes when going to the Pelican!

Bernard drops us off and we wander around treasure beach a bit...

[Jamadian]

Are there many cases of sea urchins right on the main beach?

[murph]

not that Ive seen... more up on the cliffs though. Of course- your not walking on the bottom at the cliffs- so you just see them stuck to the rocks

[SuperSara]

What a fun trip report, Murph! In a few weeks I'm excited to finally be staying on the cliffs and spending some time in the west end.

Back at the Kudeyha Guesthouse, me and the owner- I-Ras share a lyric or two...



Anyone guess what song we sang?...

[MilwaukeeMike]

I don't know what song but that looks like the Prime Minister's copter coming in to Jakes.
