    The rest of the drive was pretty uneventful. There are some steep roads right as you are getting to Port Antonio. I dont have an good pictures on my phone of this, but the Blue Mountains are HUGE! In reality they are the same height as some of the taller Appalachian mountains, but they seem so much bigger since you are seeing them in the distance from the vantage point of basically sea level. In the states you are seeing the Appalachians from well above sea level.

    Port Antonio seemed very interesting when we drove through. It is really a beautiful town. A bit run down in some places, but there's some pretty cool architecture. Very busy in the market area.

    Port Antonio is famous for being a major exporter of Bananas.


    As you head out to the east of PA, you start seeing some very Majestic buildings.





    We finally get to our destination. Norse Point Villa. Even with getting lost. We made the Negril to Norse Point trip in under 5 hours. It was not bad at all.


    We pull up to a sign, that has our Villa's name on it. There's just a Seawall. Jackie was confused. I said "Look over the wall".


    Over the wall about 30 steep steps was our home for the next 5 nights. On the porch was Verona. Our maid/chef.

    (The deal with Verona - her fee was 30 dollars a day on top of the 300 a night we paid for the villa. She would cook whatever we wanted for 2 meals a day. Do our grocery shopping if we needed. We chose breakfast and dinner most days).


    Verona had a feast on the stove warming up as we arrived to this beautiful 1BR Villa. The villa had doors that opened the whole water facing side of the building to the crystal clear blue water, and monkey island. The villa had 1.5 Baths, a kitchen, Laundry machine. A dock with kayaks. It was great.

    We chowed on dinner. Verona left us for the night, saying breakfast would be served around 9. After dinner we went to check out the bedroom. The next thing I realize. My 8:15am alarm was going off.. I had slept for 14 hours.
