We headed back to relax and cleanup for dinner. Took a couple of rum punches back to the big house to watch the sunset
Had a nice dinner at Pushcart. They had a couple playing some music, so we chilled and had a few drinks until they packed it up and we called it a night. We only got one picture that was not blurry.
For our last day at VSM, we kind of picked up some stuff in the morning, then decided to walk out to Just Natural for breakfast. We’ve made the hike out to Out of Town pastry before so we knew it would be a little hot and not too far of a walk. We need to start adopting the roads in Negril, it was pretty trashy along some places on the walk, I regretted not taking a bag and if I hike out that way again I will. I love being able to take a walk without any hassle and since we started heading out of town at LTU before 8 there was very little traffic. After a short hike, we followed the signs and easily found Just Natural. They have beautiful gardens and cool little paths around the property along with the ubiquitous Negril goats chompping away in some underbrush on one side. We enjoyed Just Natural, the ladies were very nice and the food was pretty good and we got to try a couple of things we never had before – soursop and passion fruit. I always liked soursop juice, but now I like the fruit too. Not a big passion fruit fan. It feels kinda cool to even have an opinion about soursop.

We stopped at Out of Town pastry for some lunch patties for later and hiked back to VSM, it was moving day. VSM had another couple coming in that day for Villa #6 so they helped us move to Villa #2, which is a beautiful 2 bedroom by the office. Since they were nice enough to let us hang out and use another villa, we vacated our room around 10 so they could get started. I must say I sighed when we passed it going between villa #2 and the pool. We enjoyed an afternoon at the lagoon pool with rocking lounge chairs, snacked on patties and ting when we got hungry and lazed around until it was time to transfer to Idle Awhile around 3.
Cliff, the bartender at VSM, made each of the rocking lounge chairs, they are pretty comfy once you get the hang of them.

Enjoying your report and look forward to hearing about your time at Idle Awhile. We stayed there last year and had a wonderful week. Stayed at Charela Inn this past May and enjoyed our week there very much!
VSM is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing and great report so far......
Thanks for all the pics and the report.
We arrive at Idle Awhile, we stayed in the Junior Suite, just behind the office. Nice room, a little dark, pretty quiet except for a little noise when people arrive early in the morning. It had a wonderful screened in porch and was just a short walk to the beach.
Flowers in the room
