For the first time since our very first trip to Jamaica, we took a bus to Negril. It was part of our package from The Grande Pineapple, our friend Victor came two hours after us, so we gave it a try. What a mistake! I had heard from other people about 3 hour rides to Negril, But I thought they were exagerating. Oh No, they were right! Okay, mine was "Only 2 1/2 hours"! This was only because 70% of the passengers were dropped off at one place. Most were Russian, and only one other couple plus a Jamaican hitching a ride, even spoke english. The bus driver tried to tell stories and tired jokes, while the bus stood in silence. It was Erie not Irie. We hired a driver for the return ride. Soooo much better. We were at the airport in Mobay within an hour and 15 minutes. All the way with a Cold Red Stripe in one hand and a (You know what) in the other. If only I could do the same all the way home.
