Blue Cave Castle

we came a day early but the room we booked was taken that day so we went with I think #10...It was a nice room just no view or anything special. The next 2 days were spent in #8, this room had a nice view with a little sliding door and balcony. only thing was lots of stairs and I thought the were steep compared to something back home, we didn't have any troubles with them. The last 2 nights we spent up top in the penthouse suite....now them are some stairs,lol.

The cliffs was nice, ya could still get out and do stuff if ya wanted or if ya wanna just hang out ya can and not be bugged by someone wanting to sell ya something. The only thing about the cliffs is the walking on the road...frickin crazy,lol...after a while ya get use to that just like everyother weird/crazy thing they do over there.

we ate at 3dives,loved it. we also ate at teddys that's right in BCC, very good pizza. we also ate at pushcart, unless you got $$$ don't go wish we didn't.

The castle is a very kick butt place and if we ever come back to Jamaica I think it will be the castle. we met a dude there who said he comes about 5-6 times a year and stays only at BCC...been doing it for like 30 years he said! He seen us snorkeling and he told us about a glass bottom boat tour out to the reef and said it's a must do so we booked it and he came with....let me tell that is a must do....we seen so much cool stuff....we booked with awesome Vincent....great guy and great crew.

one other thing we did on our very last day was went to get some teds tea....that was great I just wish I would have bought 2....I was having so much fun on the top of the castle star watching




after 15 days in Jamaica and with the wedding we had been going for 3 weeks straight we had to head home....to tell ya the truth I think we were starting to get sick of being there and just want to see our dogs. After being home for 2 days home we were ready to be back in Jamaica though

My Mom is from Germany so we are trying to get over there to see family and Oma but we do hope to get back down there soon. talking about doing a family trip with both sides of our's for a 5 year anniversary trip 2018.

We wish we could figure out a way to make it once a year but this trip was $$$. tickets were $1,300 rooms $3,000 (half was for jakes) and around $2,000 spending/food money

This is our first time doing a trip like this so we were green as it gets. One thing we learned is food can eat up money quick....I've been wanting to build a mobile kitchen for doing road trips and staying in motels or whatever...so I'm getting a double hotplate and some basic cooking pans and putting them in a suite case....the rest of the room I'm going to pack food and if it's a long haul like this trip was I would bring a duffle bag so I only have to pay one way. I did not know food was going to be that much there.

This little mobile kitchen will also help to keep us out of fastfood places on road trips. we live off $75 a week on food so I can't see paying that much for a day of meals.

If we would have been able to eat in more we would have been able to do a lot more other fun things so that kinda sucked.....we had $2,700 but had to pay some bills and stuff so it was a little over $2k when we left....we came home with $23 ,a wooden carving,2 cartoons of cigs, a bottle of rum and all we did was ys falls and the field tour....we still had a blast





I'll have to work on getting some pictures up from the trip and I might have left out some parts so I might be adding more later

I guess that's it for now, hope it didn't rattle on and on first time to Jamaica and first time doing a trip report
