Ok, where was I?
I believe this is the day we decided to go to FIWI to see Hiyagrade. As per the usual routine, we met up with PGW and Uncle Johnny and then drank our way down the beach.
We hung at the bar at fiwi for a couple hours, and then linked up with Rob and Lisa at Drifters. Where there was a special show. Luddy was having a family reunion, and his son stole the show in my opinion. He has Luddy's voice and was very charismatic. Drawing a blank as to what happened next. I believe we went to sunny side for some cocktails. Uncle Johnny took off to go see an old friend to give him some shoes, with one of the "Lads" (Dave's son's friends).
When we got back to Poolguy's place we saw the following not on the counter

Monday monday monday.
Today, I eas into things a bit. I sit at tony's hut and have a pepsi and play a few games with grace ann. PGW has a couple tings. My buddy mike kicks it off with a stripe. We have to wait on Uncle Johnny for a bit, which was fine.
We snagged a cab down to the hilo, so we could hit ATM, Exchange currency etc, then we walk up the hill to red ground. We see the wood workers finishing a fine kind size head board. PGW sends a pic to his wife, who says she will wire him cash to buy it.
We make a stop at red dragon. I had my first beer of the day and my first ever skunked beer in Jamaica. I almost vomited all over the table. But I choked down 70% of it. The next few beers were fine. Uncle Johnny told me a dirty joke. We were not aware that the locals who seemed not to be paying attention were listening. On the way out of the bar about an hour later one of the locals made his own joke about the punchline which ended up being hilarious.
We went to Colletes bar for several hours. Music bumping. Uncle Johnny in the DJ booth. We drank her out of red stripe and decided to move down the road.
We got a cab and decided to got to No limit and work our way home. Uncle Johnny and Mike wanted to hit connies to crab a cake on the way. When arrived. We found the lads already there. We decided to stay and hang with them for awhile. We ate some awesome mac n cheese again and had some of her famous desert. After I promised myself I wouldnt again. We had a blast though. connie helped me make a call to chicken to arrange a tour to YS and Pelican bar for the next day. Which we got settled.
We went to Blue iris next, then we ended up with a cab? I am not sure. Anyways. We all ended up crashing relatively early so we could be ready for the trip the next day.
I like the way you roll!
Hah, thanks both of you.
Tuesday. The last full day.
We get up early and trudge down the beach to meet up with the Canadians. We have hired Chicken to take us on a tour to YS, and Pelican bar. This time we have the lads with us. PGW was wanting to spend some more time with his kid, and his friends - but they were wanting to do their own thing for the most part. At 18-19, who didn't? This was a good opportunity to lock them in for the day though.
We head over to hilo. Gotta get some cash. Gotta get some supplies.
Loaded up the cooler with some stripes, some wata, some Gatorade. Grabbed some snacks and off we went. Well sort of.
WE FORGOT PGW! He was taking a leak behind the bus and not only did start to leave without him, but we pulled away his cover.
Anyway, we got him on the bus, and now, off we went.
On the way to YS, I sat in the back with Uncle Johnny, PGW road shotgun and the rest of the crew filled out in between.
We stopped at belmont to check out the Peter Tosh burial site. Some will be impressed to know that the road all the way up until this point has been repaved. I have no doubt that the Sandals Whithouse Resort had a little to do with this.
We made it to YS falls. The lads did the rope swing. We took some pics and video. I went swimming for about 30 minutes. After that? Well.... I guess that's all.
We stopped at Middle Quarters for some peppa shrimp. BANGIN.
Finally off to Pelican Bar.
Chicken arranged our boat and off we went. We spent about 3 hours at pelican bar. Most of us were in the water the whole time. PGW challenged us to climb that structure just near pelican. Myself, his son, and my buddy mike went up. It was very shaky.
PGW's kid tells me he doesnt have shoes on and is nervous to step on a sea urchin, so I toss him over my shoulder and carry him back to pelican bar. Thats when I nailed my shin on some Coral. didnt really hurt that bad at the time, but it did later.
When we got out of the water it turns out I was bleeding from the coral. A young Jamaican guy came over with vinegar, and that stopped the bleeding, but HOLY ****. It stung.
After a bit, we decided to head back. I told the guys that the ride was REALLY BORING in the dark and it was best we hit the road with some day light.
On the way home we stopped at the KFC in Sav. The place was PACKED. We waited in line for an hour I'd guess. Lots of yelling for "Supervisor!" but it was an unforgettable experience. We sat down and ate, and headed back to town.
Unfortunately this is where our story basically ends. We were all exhausted from the long day.
Pics to follow.
Good stuff!
Wait - so, why did Uncle Johnny go to the Jungle at 8:00pm?
