Feb 21...had last breakfast at Montana's. Still great! Hung out on the beach and said by to some friends. Was getting misty so we went to the Boat bar. I can't believe I hadn't been there in the ten days I was in Negril. Music was great! The same guys were there that I'd danced to at the Rondel. They recognized me from that night which was cool plus we were standing right beside them in the rain. Well I was dancing. My goal was to dance every day and that plan was a success! The bar was packed!
Headed off to Swordfish for our last dinner and called it a day

Feb 19 beach day and our own pub crawl with Norbert. Had lunch at Alfred's today and it was really good. I was craving greens so a large salad for me, We went to Ricks to watch the divers...ok..I know this is a popular attraction but I've "been there, done that". That place was nuts! I got claustrophobic as soon as I was thee. A diver did dive off the high board but we were not close to enough to see it. iNSANE there...went for a bevvie to C & D and I think the Rock House. Had dinner at Swordfish and I posted a separate thread on the place cause I just love it!

Feb 20th. Road trip to YS Falls and Black River today. We hired Norbert for the day. He is an awesome guide and I feel like he is already our friend. He takes the time to explain things along the way. I really should have recorded him..so much information. The plan was to eat Jamaican all day which is what we did. I love the food in Jamaica! Originally we were going to go for a short day but decided we wanted to see more of the country. We stopped to stretch our legs where they were cutting log wood to make room to widen a bridge. Next stop White House for a Juicy patty...love those Mega patties..Yum! Passed by St Elizabeth which Norbert said is the bread basket of Jamaica.
Next stop YS falls. Stands for Yales and Scott's. So pretty here..I like it much better then Dunns River falls. It's also a farm where they study horses although I saw more cows then horses here. We had a guide walk us through the different falls. Dang near lost my bottoms! We sat in one section that's like a jacuzzi and the water had them around my ankles! We laughed pretty hard on that one. Would have been pretty embarrassing if I would have had to get out if the water bottomless! I didn't have the nerve to swing from the rope swing. I'm accident prone and figure I better be safe. We hung out there for awhile..it was so tranquil there.
We headed out to Black River but first we stopped to try some fruit. We tasted Sour Sup (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong), didn't like it and Mean fruit, which I loved! String mango, don't like, and Julie mango which I do like. And I think there was something called Nexberry. Didn't like that one either..lol
Next snack was salt fish fritters and pepper shrimp. Really like the shrimp. Spicy!
Headed off to Black River and went on a crocodile tour on a pontoon boat. There was a huge crocodile crawling out of the water and if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believe it was real. We spotted a few crocodile in the water and local birds. It was just nice being out on the water and the guide was very chill.
On the way backed we stopped at a fish market and I should have video tossed what happened..we were accosted by about 15 fisher women! Lol..they all wanted us to buy fish from them. It was hilarious and I burst out laughing. You couldn't even move. Eventually Norbert settled them down. He had actually pre arranged for us to try fish from one lady but she wasn't there. The fish we had was deep fried and delicious! We ate it with some kind if bread..not my favourite and Johnny cakes or carnival as I think it's called. Yummy! It was raining by this time and all the sellers had settled down.
Back to town and later headed out to Best in the West. I thought the jerk was just ok here. Went off to Bourbon beach for some music here I danced the night away..hi I have to tell you guys. We were walking on the beach and I kept saying to everyone watch out for the ropes..well..right at the beach I trip in the last rope! Got to excited I guess when I realized there was a bonfire and music! Pretty much a face plant..nothing injured other then my pride.
So I danced the night away with a lovely girl whose name escapes me and I husband waited in the background and got hit on by a number of girls. He took it in his stride. All in all a fun day and night!

Nice pictures great review happy you had a great vacation.
Good stuff!! Very interesting characters you have came across.
Feb 22. Had breakfast for the first time at The Rondel. The waitress didn't recognize us and said we must have been out and about a lot which we were! It was ok but Montana's was better. Took our last dip in the sand, said goodbye to the staff with a hug from Donna our housekeeper and time to go...I cried..Norbert was so sweet and gave me a big hug. He commented how he felt we had really become friends. I added him to my FB account so he could look at my pics. I told him about the forum and that he needs to be on it! He is such a great guide. Homeward bound and arrived without incident. Tomorrow I get to become stressed again at the office. Been a pleasure meeting so many locals and tourists. I would love to come back. AND remember how I've mentioned my husband was hesitant about coming to Negril? Well he loved it! He loved the sense of humour that people had and how nice everyone was. We had zero issues with vendors in the beach which I was expecting and found people to be very generous. I think you get what you give and that goes for a vacation. We went in with a smiling and generous attitude and we were rewarded 10 x...I'm gonna miss the chill attitude of Negril...I now also know that I could travel here alone or with girlfriends and not be concerned...may have to have a chick holiday next time!
