Friday after Travellers beach resort I hung with the family in the beach and TOMH came by and introduced me to his friend Bill who is now coming to the party on the 30th.
Bill plays guitar and sings and very well too.
Friday was Bertie boys final full day as his transfer was early Saturday morning.Earlier we had discussed our evenings plans and I mentioned LTU for pull up fridays and I thought a few others may have been there that we know.So we said about 7pm.
Bert did not seem definate that he was going as he mentioned Alfreds too and then I had no ride or money so I was thinking OKAY what do I do?
So I called from the hotel to LTU and said is my friend Bertie boy there so they said yes,
so I asked to talk to him and asked was he okay up there or did he want to move on?
So he said he was fine and I said I will be there soon.
I changed some money on the street on the way there, the taxi driver charged me 1000j from shields to LTU he said if I called him to return later he will drive me cheaper but he did not he charged me 1000j again and had some girl in the back too! CHEEKY so I did not keep his card.
I arrived at LTU and the place is lit up really lovely for christmas a tree up and everything , it looked really pretty, nice set up by the cliffs so you can see the sea.I TRIED to get a rum punch , it was my turn and I asked for one but then 3 other people got served first before me so I thought hmmm so I waited a little longer it was quite a long time because Bert had actually got up looking for me wondering where I had gone.So I gave up waiting and sat down with no drink.
We then was going to wait to get a waitresses attention that was another WAIT .
Last time I brought all the family to LTU a couple of years ago they had us waiting over an hour for a table which I did not mind but there was a plastic table right behind us not being used and I said we would sit at that but they said just wait which we did and waited and waited , drinks took 45 minutes to get served with so we left that time.So when I did not get served my rum punch I thought here we go again. ROLL EYES
The music was retro old songs some really old songs oloder than me I did not know a lot of them.2 songs were good.When I heard it was called pull up fridays and dj was called 22pac I kind of got the impression it would be a reggae Jamaican dance party.It was just not mine or Berties thing I don't think.
The setting was lovely , the decorations are lovely but the service was rubbish and the music was sending me and bert to sleep!They had a dance competition which was good fun to watch.
I would recommend the place for a nice dinner party, go before sunset eat a meal and then enjoy some old slow music.It is nice for that kind of thing but not a PARTY as we know it as such.
I doubt I will go again as the service is poor.But you may love it the setting is very nice.I will be updating my photographs later tonight or in the morning for you all.
The night was quite sad as it was Berts last day and we were both sitting there in silence so not like us, staring into our drink thinking about things.Bert said he could not make Alfreds because of early transfer so now I knew he was upset.Bert and Alfreds are inseperable he LOVES it so we got a taxi and said our goodbyes and I was really sad little tear came to my eye because I don't know when I will get to see him again.
HE IS MY NUMBER 1 PARTY BOY AND FRIEND!
Bye Bertie!, I am secretly hoping he did not go home and he will suprise me at Seastar tonight because he is fun like that but I know he had to go home he got responsibilities.Still I hope he returns or is still here hiding!
Bert has so much energy he really enjoys life in Jamaica and he is NOT a party pooper and he sings a funny song about party poopers it makes me laugh! He has a lot of funny songs.
So I said goodbye to Bert and went back to the hotel to see if anyone was online to hang out with but there was no-one so I decided to head next door to Travellers beach resort as they still had some music on it was just finishing though then I spotted Bill Tomh's friend from earlier, he is staying here a long time so I said oh no the party is finished what can we do?So I remembered he sings and plays guitar OMG instant party!
So I said get your guitar out so he did!
We sat on his little cottage porch at travellers and he did a few songs singing and playing.When that finished I still heard music, it was coming from Alfreds it was shouting my name TIC TOC TIC TOC!
So we started walking over there, that was almost finishing so I asked could we go in free it was right near the end they said no at first so I turned to leave and the lady said COME and let us in so we got some drinks and caught a couple of songs, well the night was still young the jungle had some party going on so we paid full whack 1200j OMG to get in and hardly anyone was there.It was a private hire thing tv lights crew were there and I was not dressed up so if you see me on TV casual I am sorry I did not know I was going out!
We strolled back to our hotels , people are fun here people older than myself know how to party here.Back at home if I said to an older person come walk a mile with me or go to a nightclub until 4am what do you think my answer would be?
My own mum sometimes will not go to our corner bar right near her house past 8pm
They need to go to the Bertie school of training.So last night was a bit sad because Bertie had gone
