Spratters Island Adventure....

[Sprat]

The first course was a fish chowder served with a fabulous herb bread. Delicious!



We had both decided on fish....and hubby had the breaded grouper while I had the bacon wrapped grouper. This was one of the best fish meals that we had. It was served with herbed potatoes, sauteed vegetables, grilled tomatoes and served with a fruit preserve.

The presentation was dramatic and beautiful!! Now this is what I had expected at GeeJam, but was disappointed. Now this was the way to style food ~~

There was no shortage of waiters, waitresses and even the chef was back to see what we thought. Dinner was wonderful and it was time for desert. We sipped on our wine...and decided to take dessert back to our room.



The presentation for dessert was equally impressive. A slice of chocolate cake, served with an apple fritter type of pastry along with lime mouse. It was delicious and we devoured it in the comfort of our own room.


* I was very impressed with the new Jamaican Hotel tourism magazine this year, "Our Jamaica'. It was done very well, photos and food are beautifully captured and presented. If you find a copy, it's really a keeper.

Tomorrow we would get up and explore the Runaway Bay area and head to the beach.

WOW, that sounds fabulous Sprat. The food presentation is wonderful.

The food was really beautifully presented....looks almost more like a "sculpture" than plate of food.....very appetizing....glad you enjoyed your dinner there. Was the lime mousse something like key lime pie?

We were up early and walked around the grounds... These young boys were heading to the culinary school in uniform. I learned that the school offers free tuition to all Jamaicans and has 100's of students per year. Some stay on campus in the dorms, also at no cost to the student and family. For a country that thrives on tourism this is certainly a great education and training for young Jamaican youth.



The flowers were beautiful around the property and the grounds were well kept.

Time to hop in the car and head for the Cardiff Hall Beach for some good home cooked Jamaican food.....



The restauant was called 'Flavours' and there were lots of people enjoying the public beach...



We met this guy right the getgo...and we bought a likkle ring from him...and bought him a beer...

The beach wasn't packed by any means, but there were lots of young Jamaicans having fun, frolicking in the water....
