Up at 6:30 am Monday morning, so much easier to get up when we don't have to go to work. Just have to look at this...
It was already day 6 and we still hadn't eaten a Jamaican breakfast, so we headed out to see Teresa at Just Natural. Breakfast was perfect as always. As we ate, we decided it would be a good day to head up to the Blue Hole in Brighton, so we went back to Citronella and got ready for that adventure. As we started out of town, it was looking really rainy, so we decided to save that trip for another day. While we were near the roundabout we located the fruit vendors that Sweetness had told me about for future reference. Since we were staying local, decided to head to Sun Beach. It was still pretty early, around 10:300 and the beach was empty and gorgeous.
It was an excellent beach day, just lounged around, bought fruit, patties, cotton candy, and jerk pork from vendors for lunch. We got a lot of sun, but no burn. Dennis kept the Red Stripes coming.
Chad struck up a conversation with a couple from L.A. that ended up being new friends of ours.
We did a whole lot of relaxing, talked to vendors and Sun Beach staff, super chill. They sure do treat us well at Sun Beach, I can't seem to drag myself away from there to hang out anywhere else.
Even though we had jerk pork from Dean for lunch, I still wanted to go to Red Dragon. I overheard another Sun Beach regular named Mikey talking about it and asked him how to get there. He gave us good directions, so we finally found it. I didn't realize how close to downtown it is. When we left the beach in the late afternoon we headed up there and had some pork and Red Stripes. We were lucky we got there when we did, the place was busy and we got the last of the pork. What I assume to be a church "bus" (pickup truck with rails on the bed for everyone to stand inside) came through and the little old ladies were so adorable climbing up into the truck with their nice church dresses and shoes on. I'm talking about 80ish ladies climbing up into that truck like it was nothing--- their more active lifestyles certainly pay off, don't know many 80-90 year olds in the states that could do that. It was something I would love to have photographed, but I never feel comfortable taking conspicuous photos of people I don't know, without their approval.
After our fun Red Dragon experience (can't wait to go back there, love being up in the neighborhood), we headed back to Citronella to enjoy the sunset, music, and some rum drinks on our verandah.
Great Negril day, can't beat it.
They're doing some major work on the lodge, looks like it's going to be nice.
