Sandie's Bday trip II

[booger]

So up we are and man I am excited. We have 7 more nights of fun to be had but right now I am huuuuungry. Sandie sends me to the bar to grab her some of the complimentary blue mountain coffee and as I stand there in my haze waiting my turn I come across this sign.


Man, isn't that the truth!

So we hop in a route taxi and we are on way. Pull up to Jus Natural and it looks just like I expected.


We walk in and soon are greeted by Teresa. The place is sensory overload and I'm just trying to take it all in. Teresa tells us to sit anywhere and I have my first hard decision of the trip. Every little spot looks cool, but I'll take this one and we plop down near the road with a view of the gardens as well as Kaisers. All I have heard about the place is that they used to put on shows and everything else is shady as of late. Kaisers looks interesting, but just like last time it looks empty.

Teresa brings us the menu and we chat for some time. She is quite the hostess and makes us feel completely welcome. We are the only ones there the entire meal and literally have the place to ourselves. The food was killer and I promised myself that I would be back. She also has some jewelry and some other items that her and her sister work on that are available for purchase. It's important to mention too that the prices that she charges are some of the lowest I have seen at a restaurant in Negril. Great food and great prices in an awesome setting equals a great experience, capped off by one sweet lady.

After breakfast we hit Digicel down by Scotia to pick up a Jamacian phone. My kiddo (booger) is back home with my Mom and it's necessary to have some sort of communication. A little over $4000j later we walk out with a new phone, 1000 international minutes, and 125 local minutes. The phone worked great the entire trip and it was so nice to have the peace of mind. Thanks Tom Hudson for posting the info literally two days before we hit town.

On the way back we hit Banmark to get some local cash(thanks Lisa for the tip). Last trip we just used the ATM at Scotia and I wished I would have just used Banmark now that I see how easy it is. One word of caution though, the place is hot as hell! By the time I walked out I was dripping with sweat. It's a much chiller scene though compared to the ATM at Scotia and some of the beggars who hang out there.

Today we decide we will do nothing but swim, lounge, drink, swim, lounge, eat , drink, swim, drink, drink, drink, you get the idea. I have my spot that I could film my own Corona commercial at. I could sit here for days, but this trip we decide we are going to do a little more then our last one.


A great way to start the drinking day, especially if you are bloated from too much beer is a Purple Rain.


Carol at Ivan's makes a killer one!

Now like I said, we planned to do nothing but chill at Catcha all day. Tomorrow is Sandie's Bday and I have a fun day planned out. However we met some cool people staying there, 2 of which who wanted to go out, but both being ladies were a little uncertain by what they would encounter out on the town. So much for plans.........

3 Dives soon come........
