I just wanted everyone to be aware of a situation that happened to us the last time we were in Negril. We decided to walk from Coco to Boardwalk Village. The walk was fine until the area that I believe (if my memory serves me correctly) was right after the public beach where you have to walk through a wooded area. There was another couple walking in front of us about a block or so. We noticed that as they approached the wooded area, a local man jumped out in front of them and demanded money to pass. We sort of hung back to watch what transpired. They other couple seemed to be quite shook up, we decided to walk faster to get to them in case there was a real issue. By the time we got up there, the man let the couple pass, but then did the same to us. He said something to the effect the we owe him money because us americans come and use his country and never leave any money to the local people. We told he that we leave plenty of money to people that deserve it , or are kind to us. He continued in a very aggressive manner. We keep walking, but he was very intimidating. I told him that it is people like him that give Jamaica a bad name, when the vast majority of his countrymen are extremely kind and loving. He called us "f-ing hillbilly, rednecks" ( I got a kick out of that!) and a few bumba this and that. We eventually lost him, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. We did take a cab back so we didn't run into him again. I don't know if that is a usual hang out for this guy,or if this was an isolated incident, but I just wanted to make others aware of the situation. BTW....after we got back and told a few of our local friends what had happpened, they wanted us to take them back there so they could give the man a piece of their mind. I thanked them for their loyalty to us, but declined, and said it wasn't worth it. Things like this can happen from time to time, but that was a little scary because there was not other people around. Again, I just want to make people aware.
