So far, so good! Just my 3rd day here. It's right next door to the old grand pineapple. Not advertised anywhere. Word of mouth gets you here (I learned about it from Nancy Marie).Originally Posted by original spanky
So far, so good! Just my 3rd day here. It's right next door to the old grand pineapple. Not advertised anywhere. Word of mouth gets you here (I learned about it from Nancy Marie).
We land tomorrow morning. Stop by Indies, I'll buy you a beer.
Yeah, the 1st, 4th& 5th pics are of the patio off my room's porch and some of its flora and fauna. The funny thing is that next door is a packed beach at Vera club and it's just me and a young couple honeymooning on our lil section of the beach.
So yesterday was more about settling into the groove here. Walked 2 properties over to Alfred's for their Negril breakfast, great sandwich (melted cheese, ham, eggs, tomatoes on coco bread with some Johnny cakes). Then I walked down the beach to stretch the legs for a bit before coming back and settling in for a much needed beach day. Pretty wavy out there but not bad to float around in once past the breakers with my faithful bubba cup of Kingston 62 and Coke, no sugar. Did some reading and relaxed till it was time to hit Drifters. Luddy was his usual best doing 3 sets with a few locals jumping in to give him some breaks. Was a packed house running in to some old acquaintances like Stan and fellow Bills fan, Doc (I swear he's as close to being an expat as can be.. lol, always around). Of course making new friends as well (easy so do when you're the only one that remembers to bring a bottle opener for their bucket off stripes.. lol). I wound up closing the place down then hitting the new Sky Garden across the street for some shrimp fried rice and hanging with some people till bed time.

That was just for you Happy!
Nice report and photos! Looks like a place I would enjoy staying.
So yesterday started on the beach after a huge Calypso breakfast at Alfred's but only for a couple of hours after the wind really started kicking up (25-30mph gusts). So I cleaned up and headed down the beach to the Boat bar for music. Unfortunately, they stopped playing on Mon due to the seasonal slow down. So I hoofed it to the White Sands bar for drinks from Paul. I then ran into a couple of people that I usually see on my Nov reach. After chatting a while I was getting hungry again so I walked down the road to Colettas for a nice chicken penne pasta dinner.
Afterwards, I walked back to Rudy's backyard bar. I get back there and not only find Rudy but I walk in to essentially the negril chamber of commerce with all these different people to chat with and get all kinds of different ideas and views about what's going on in town here. It was quite incredible and a lot of fun. I guess it's the secret little hangout after weekly meetings. It was good to see that Rudy still brings in the clientele.
Since Boat bar didn't have music, I was determined to make it to Roots for their band. So I hung out on my porch after Rudy's till I wandered down to Roots and the band didn't disappoint with a great performance. After listening for a couple of hours, I finally decided to call it a night.
Enjoying your report & pics ~ Quick question, where is Rudy's located??
