LOL - "something man" - I can imagine my husband saying the same thing and me thinking the same thoughts as you
After our brush with fame, we headed back into Port Antonio looking for something to eat. Along the walk to downtown, we came across a group of schoolkids on their way home. I had brought glow stick bracelets from home, and I stopped a couple of girls and asked if they would like some. Pretty soon I had a group of kids all wanting me to put their bracelets on for them, and exchanging colors. These kids were so polite and they all made sure to thank us. I had also given some to Devon to give to his kids. I later asked Devon if the girls had liked them, and he told me that they didn't want to take them off and wanted to sleep with them. LOL!
The next morning was our last full day in PA, so we started by walking down the main road. We soon got thirsty though so we popped into a random bar to see what was cold to drink. Red Stripes, who would have thought?
The bar we stopped into was a typical Jamaican bar, with just the owner and his TV. He had on an old Kung Fu movie. You know the ones that have the lips moving before the sound? So we got into a discussion about the movie and pretty soon the owner was showing us his Kung Fu moves. Only in Jamaica!
Our next stop was the market, where I got a pineapple that was amazingly sweet.
This woman peeled that pineapple so fast! Takes me forever at home.
We took our booty and headed to Bikini Beach to chill and bemoan the fact that we were leaving early the next day.
After leaving the beach area, we walked around the marina for a bit. They have the cutest gazebos that you can sit and enjoy the day and the beautiful view.
We met an older gentleman who sat with us and told us stories of earlier days in Port Antonio, and I bought a CD from him. After we talked about different music genres, he have me 3 more CD's. I've been listening to them now at home and they are wonderful!
Back to the hotel for an early night since we were leaving on the Knutsford bus at 6:00 am.
Early the next morning, after checking out we waited for our ride to pick us up. And waited.....We finally walked up to the road to see if he was coming. Boy Jamaican mornings are dark!!
We had a guy stop and ask if we needed a ride, and we said no, our driver will be here.
5 minutes later, he came back and said we need to leave now if we're going to catch the bus, so in we hopped and made it to the bus station
(Our driver called a few minutes before 6 to say "Soon come".) Oh well..
We started onto the next leg of our journey..Ocho Rios.
A 2 hour bus ride landed us into Ocho Rios and to our new place. We rented a condo on VRBO slightly out of town but within walking distance. The view outside our balcony was sweet.
