Day 7
I woke up with a pounding head. I slowly sat up, groggy and disoriented. The sunlight streaming through the window burned my eyes and I could only let out a groan. Markus let out an equally agonizing groan.
All the events of the previous day came rushing back to me and I had to smile despite my killer hangover.
Markus shuffled to the Seasplash kitchen to get coffee for our room while I took a long hot shower.
I felt better once we were sitting out on the lounge area sipping our blue mountain coffee surrounded by the lush Jamaican landscape.
I realized that we had officially reached the “half way point” of our trip. Our longest trip to Jamaica previously had been six nights. Usually we would be rushing around packing our suitcases and heading to MoBay airport at this point. The fact that we had so much still ahead of us made me so happy. We still had two more hotels to experience (Catcha Falling Star and Banana Shout) Today was the One Love Pub Crawl, we had many webcasts and the boardie bash to also look forward to. I thought of the sacrifices we had made to make this trip a reality and it was worth it. This felt like a dream come true...
The coffee brought us back to life and we were once again filled with anticipation for the day ahead of us. We headed to the Seasplash dining area for breakfast (included in the room cost.)
I expected a basic continental breakfast and was surprised to discover that we could pick anything from the menu.
I forgot the name of the dish I picked. It involved poached eggs with a creamy hollandaise sauce over smoked fish, callaloo and a toasted bun. It was amazing...
After breakfast, we decided to take a dip in the ocean. Previously the ocean had been too turbulent to swim in. Now it was calm with gentle waves. Perfect and crystal clear. The weather was beautiful.
