DAY 4 PART 2
Coming down the mountain is actually pretty cool and for some reason not as scary as climbing it and if you look
at the distance from the mountain to Treasure beach it looks hours away but it feels like about 30 minutes and we’re there.
We come out to the water and it’s dark sand but the water is great there’s a small restaurant there but we can’t decide
what to eat and I’m not really a fan of breakfast food so we go next door there is a small bar there and Andre, Jacko and
Barber seem to know him. There is a table with some benches around and a small sort of canopy over it as a roof. Jacko
is talking about how much the water has moved up and that by next year it’ll come right up to the front of the bar and
some of the properties. So I’m sitting on this bench with a cool breeze coming through with the water right in front of me
I mean feet away from me.
“Cold Red Stripe?”
”No Cold Red Stripe”
“Okay any cold drink?”
”No cold drink”
Apparently away from hotels it’s hard to find cold beverages and I’m one to always have my beer icy cold but okay
I’m a trooper and I’m no princess.
10am cool breeze beautiful beach warm Red Stripe great company and there is silence. It’s not awkward not in that
oh my god would someone please say something. It really is more like I really hope no one says anything right now
and ruins this perfect moment. I feel like life is made up of moments good ones, bad ones, memorable ones, funny
ones but you’ll only ever get a handful of “perfect” moments and right then that was one of mine and no one had
to say a word.
And then I started screaming because there was a crab and it was after me. I swear it had something against me
and the little bugger was running sideways at me I couldn’t quite figure out it’s next move but I swear to you he
was after me!
The man that ran the bar was sitting behind me and he hadn’t said much of anything since we were there because
after all I think we were all having our own perfect moment until I messed it up but now he’s laughing that deep sort
from your gut laughter and we all start laughing and we can’t stop and I realized this might be yet another perfect
moment. Could it be possible that my hand full of perfect moments could all happen in Jamaica?
Okay so it turns out he couldn’t find his little hole and it just so happens that it was behind my foot. But if you tell anyone
I will swear that, that damn crab had something against me.
We were now driving along the coast of treasure beach on our way to Black River stopping every once and a while to get
out and take some pictures there are some very cool private villas to rent in this area and I take note that it might be nice
to stay down here one time. At one point we get out and we’re on a bit of a cliff. Now remember Barber is afraid of heights
and falling so he’s taking in the view from a far distance but Jacko he likes getting right up to the edge and I hear Barber
starting to get a bit nervous and panicky and he’s yellin at Jacko come off there come look where you were standing are
you mad?? It just so happens that the edge Jacko was standing on almost looks a bit dug out from underneath and I’m sure
he wouldn’t have fallen but for Barber Jacko almost died
