I remember seeing Roger's Bar last year. What is across the street from it?

Kuda- I'm sorry I'm not exactly sure but I know it is a little down(towards town) from Best in the West and on the same side.
A Dirty Banana or Purple Rain was just over $7.00. All prices at the hotel were in US $. Not sure on the red strip but I think it was close to $4. The cheapest red strip I heard was at Tony's hut $170 Jamaican
Wed 1/6
Today I discovered purple rain
Again up and hit the gym. The Treehouse has a nice new little gym that has weights, treadmill, elliptical and rowing machine. Simply but perfect for my needs. Then shower and breakfast for eggs and fish on the menu again. Today we walked the beach and on the way back it was about 1100 and decided to stop at Marley’s by the Sea at Coco Palms. Tried a purple rain and feel in love with it. This place had the best ones. The most interesting thing though is later in the evening we went to the smaller bar at Coco Palms and the drinks where about $2 less. Either way they make excellent purple rains and dirty bananas. After the drinks it was off to lay on the beach and float in the water until 2:30
At 2:30 we waited in the lobby to hop on the One Love Bus. Well it was close to 3:00 and still no bus. Front desk called and Lenbert was running behind because of an accident and asked if we could meet him at the road. No problem and off to the road we walked. Once on the bus it is just like everyone says very quiet at first and by the 7th bar everyone is best buddies and dancing in the aisle. Well come to find out that there had been a head on collision between 2 motorcycles and as we passed one was being wrapped up and placed in the hearse. We did hear the 2nd was taken to hospital and later passed. Very sad and scary and to hear this is very common. I was told it was the 4th death on a motorcycle in the last month. They just drive so crazy and no helmets.
Ok on to something lighter. This will be an absolute must on every trip. This was a very fun afternoon with many laughs and new friends made. I can’t remember the names of the bars we went to but they all had local flare and one even had pizza and a band playing. Just a great way to spend the afternoon and just enough time at each (about 30min). Couple of spots had children selling things or asking for money but it wasn’t overwhelming. The couple we were with brought little bounce balls and handed them out and the kids loved them. Next time I go I think I will bring little gifts for the kids. It was great seeing them get excited over something so simply.
Once back we decided to walk to Norma’s next to Treehouse for dinner. This was by far the worst meal that we had. I know we had pasta dishes and shrimp meal and it just had really bad tastes. Defiantly would not recommend or return.
Off to bed we went. Pretty sad when it gets to be 9:30-1000pm we are ready for bed.
Tip- Bring little gifts/toys for the kids. This next one is an important one. NEVER EVER GET ON THE BACK OF A MOTORCYLCE IN NEGRIL OR RENT ONE. To dangerous. Now someone will say it is no biggie and I’m sure it isn’t for some but you won’t catch me doing it.
