Trip Report: Blue Mountains, Boston Bay, Kingston

[mwenvlay]

day 5, continued...

we spent the majority of the day outside. in the morning we hung out at the pool at the africana house (gotta take some pictures there) and split the afternoon between boston jerk center and boston beach.

husband had made friends with a bunch of the jerk stand folks the night before, so he knew which spot to hit up. i followed a pair of jamaican ladies over to the smoothie stand, where the guy gave me the tourist price. the ladies scolded him and made him give me what was closer to the local price. the thing is, i have a good idea of what the local price should be, but it’s annoying to always have to negotiate a price that works out to be 2 bucks less.

i also gave a man i met on the beach a good deal of money to deliver fish dinners to us, which he did, which was nice, but the fish wasn’t very good and didn’t come with any sides. in that case, i got “ripped off,” aka paid far too much, but meh. it’s vacation and our next good meal is always around the corner. plus, i came out so far ahead at strawberry hill (our food/drinks tab was several hundred less than it should’ve been), so the balance is still in our favor.

i didn’t take any pictures yesterday, because i wanted to just chill and enjoy.

today (day 6) is our all day excursion with warren, and i will be taking a lot of photos.
