Mr. X Does Negril (2010) with No Reservations
Chapter 55 – 2nd Night at the Castle
Sept 9th, 2010 - Thursday – (Day 6)
It is dark dark when Famous Vincent pulls us back into the landing for the Blue Cave Castle. We unload and say our goodbyes to Vincent and Roger. I paid Vincent and gave Roger 1000J tip. Thanked them. Climb up steps into lower part of castle. Gate is closed. Damn did not even know this gate came down. Pitch dark. Royal yacht already drove off. We are stuck locked outside the gates of castle. What to do?
Granville has to yell security to get them to open the water gates and let us back in. Within minutes lights are on and they let us back in the castle. New security guard has come on duty and did not know we were out on the water. No problem except the other guard is now gone and I forgot to tip him (helping us move in) like I said I would. Nice touch on my part.
Granville and wife head home
Wife does not feel good at all. She went straight to room and bed.
I had already order the lobster Thermodore and the Mountain Pepper Shrimp. Forced to eat both by myself. I had been thinking about this lobster thermodore since the day I made reservations at the Blue Cave Castle.
Excellent.
Mountain Pepper Shrimp. Pepper means hot. Like hot hot. Made me sweat eating them. Wow. Hot. I telling you cause if you don’t like it really hot you best talk to the chef before ordering. I want it the way it is suppose to be.
Boss not coming back down tonight. Hope the ghost takes the night off.
I spilled a few drops of Ting within an hour there was a double line of ants came from nowhere and now there were literally hundreds. Not near the bed so I was not too worried.
I had observed a very cute baby lizard behind the picture by the door when we first checked in. Since he was little and cute and way over on that side of the room not a problem for me.
Photos taken earlier in day.
Every time I come into room I check behind 1st picture to see if my pet is there.
I get wife situated. She is asleep within minutes.
I go back down to courtyard and hang out.
Nobody around. Play on computer and just relax.
Teddy comes out and is fishing right over the wall. We hang out, talk and share a smoke or 2. Teddy catches a little fish.
Some kind of fish I never heard of. He says they are very good to eat. Just small and lots of bones. Well I guess I see why we North Americans don’t see them much small and lots of bones are not big selling points. Can you imagine the marketing meetings for this kind of fish. Small and lots of bones but great tasting verse large no bones and no tasting fish?? No wonder I have not even heard of this fish. I ask if they are really good tasting? He says I will find out for breakfast.
Same night routine I eventually go to top of castle and sit on various baloneys and enjoy the view and sounds of the night. On a clear night the sky is so vast and the stars are so bright. Wow. I live in the big city and you do not see stars so well due to the lights. I have been places and seen plenty of stars. Being elevated in the castle makes for stunning star viewing. I really cannot describe how cool the view really is. Don’t want to go to sleep but finally I cannot stay awake anymore and go to bed.
I check picture by door and yes cute baby lizard is behind. Ok little lizard u stay on this side of room and we are going to have no problems. Do you see how I am becoming more in step with nature. Live and let live. Asleep as my head hits the pillow.
