We crossed the road over to Swordfish, nice little place with a great view. Time to take a little break from the beer and have some wata, gotta pace myself as there are a lot of stops and I don't want to be feeling green for my dive in the morning. Next stop C&D country bar, but it seems like nobody is up for some line dancing. Not enough booze in them yet I guess. A lot of discussion about the cakes, still not convinced to give them a try though. I think this is where Larry wandered off, it's kinda fuzzy now. Thank goodness for Groove and Janet keeping an eye out for him.

We took a drive down Ella Lane and on the way back up to the main road we stopped in front of Bentley's and he came on the bus to tell us about his dinners with "five things on the plate". Come hungry! Got a good pic of Bentley and Elvis. That man is a riot. Can't wait to go and have dinner with him.

At Choices she had out some menu samples, good chicken and I tried breadfruit for the first time. My life is complete now! Had a good talk with Lenbert and heard his theory on Pi. Next stop Xtabi and I'm super excited to try a dirty banana there, was told they are the best. I would have to say it was worth the wait, pretty darned good. Still not as good as Maureen's though . Wandered around the caves for a bit, definitely have to come back and spend some time snorkeling here.

Bentley's is on the next trip "must stop at place"!!

[irieworld]

a "Boardie Down!" hall of fame (or shame?) may have to be created. I have heard enough stories I have been fortunate enough to have my own personal boardie down episodes in the semi-privacy of my room. And no, I am not volunteering to go up in the hall of fame--what happens in Negril never really happened.

Loving your updates from Negril and looking forward to reading more!
Glad to hear you're having a great time!
I loved Bentleys and Xtabi Dirty Banana's....yum!!

Goooooood Morning Fellow Negril Lovers


Sitting on the balcony, listening to the tree frogs and the waves, and feeling thankful that we are able to be here ......... We have arrived!
.

Aaaaahhhh .... thank you for reminding me of the tree frogs ....... vicariously through your words, I can hear them, brings me home ....

Bentley is a character and a great chef. If you remember, he can use some more Old Bay as he cannot source it in Negril. No crab cakes without it. I think I'm going to start an Old Bay pyramid on his shelf so no one goes without crab cakes as we did on our July trip.


Thanks for your report Rinakim. You have a great flow in your reporting.... Please continue.

We seem to have developed a trend of being the last ones on the bus when it was time to move on to the next stop, can't keep the mob waiting! Off to the Love Nest now, but we seem to be missing a few crawlers .... Where in the heck is Elvis??? I took my eyes off of Larry for a moment and he wandered off again! Found him this time with a snake wrapped around his neck. Strange indeed, for as much as this man loves animals, he hates snakes.

Now we are on our way to the Seastar. It looks completely different than the time we had been there before, very nice! Introduced myself to Chris as Lisa had told me he was from the same neighborhood as me. Turns out we lived 4 blocks away from each other on the same street! Unfortunately this does not get me a free pass to come and live in Negril at the Seastar . Saw the couple that we lost at Mi Yard when she dropped. She looks to be doing just fine now.

The next stop is what I believe to be the highlight of the pub crawl ..... Bella Donna's. She is quite "unusual". She apparently has a broken heart right now and has written a song about it which she is happy to share with us. Somehow Two4Today became the object of her angst as she sang to us about the jigalo who broke her heart. I was laughing so hard I was snorting! She baked up some pizzas and as good as they looked, I was just to full of beer and dirty banana to eat anything. The ones that did have said it was really good stuff though. Maybe have to go back and give it a try and ask her more about her broken heart!

Pub Crawl is over, time to get back on the bus. Guess who is last again? Lots of singing and joking on the way back to all of the hotels. Lots of hugs and goodbye's with promises to see you again before the trip is over. On a scale of 1 to 17 this evening was an 18 . Might just have to do it again next week!

Finished off the evening with a few more drinks on the balcony soaking in the events of the day. Yup, life is good!
