Day 3 cont...

After some drinks at Xtabi and exploring the caves, we were off to Sea Star. I have vague recollections of a group on our bus from Winnipeg who were very excited to get to Sea Star. Apparently the owners are from Winnipeg and there's a pool shaped like the province. More cold beer and someone ended up in that pool. Good times.
Next up was Sir D to watch the sunset. There were subs for everyone, the view was amazing, and it was the perfect end to a fantastic day. We all piled back into the bus and headed back to our hotels to get freshened up for the Bob Marley Birthday Bash that night! After having a little too much fun on the pub crawl, we forgot to tell Lenbert to pick us up at 9pm when he did his second round. So we sent an email from our room and got ready. When there was no Lenbert to be found, we hit the hay early and called it a night. Several days later, I found that email to Lenbert sitting in the "drafts" folder of my email. The email was never sent so Lenbert had no idea we wanted to go to the show. One thing about Rockhouse, there really is no internet access from your room. Not that we needed it, except for that one night. Just as well since we had such a great day and needed the sleep anyway.

Day 4

We were up bright and early and headed out to Just Natural for breakfast.

After breakfast we stopped at Ras Rody to grab takeout for lunch later on back at the hotel. Ras Rody's son was cooking that day and we had a fantastic feast of johnny cakes, ackee, callaloo, and pumpkin curry stew. I could eat that every day. So damn delicious.

Another perfect afternoon laying in the sunshine - reading, swimming, and then an epic nap. We got ready for dinner and headed out to Canoe Bar. Patty had already told me (on the forum) that they were serving vegan curried tofu & veg with rice so I was looking forward to that. I was not disappointed. The hubs had an equally delicious pesto pasta. Great food at Canoe Bar.

And we had a steel drum band to serenade us!

We bumped into SadieCat and her husband who we had met the day before on the pub crawl. Again, so great to meet boardies on our trip. Such nice people.
After dinner we were going to grab a cab back to Rockhouse and Kirby, the owner of Canoe, said he'd be happy to drive us back. We couldn't believe it. We met the absolute nicest people in Jamaica everywhere we went. Just fantastic.
Back at the hotel we had a few more drinks at the bar before calling it a night.
