Happy Birthday to me!
What a busy, bumpy day. We started the day with a 2 hour drive to Black
River, Jamaica. It was a very nice drive
but VERY BUMPY. The roads in this
country are horrible! In Black River we
rode a boat up the Black River. We got
to see the crocodiles and mangroves. It was a very nice ride on a scenic river.
The second stop on the tour was the YS Falls. They were beautiful. I didn’t know that you could swim in the water
around there so I was a little disappointed because that would have been fun but
we waded around. It was a multiple layered waterfall. They also had swing
ropes. Dang it next time I need to bring my suit.
The final stop was the Appleton Rum Estate. We had a great meal of Jerk
Chicken, sweet potatoes (I actually ate them) and rice. It was ok. Not the best but I was hunger. The tour was
kind of short we got to see how they used to get the sugar out of the sugar
cane and we saw the vaults in the distillery and final the ageing room. It was interesting seeing all those
barrels. We didn’t do too much of the
tasting as I don’t like rum. I tried the coconut and the mango and it
burned. Water for me please.
After that we had the 2 hour ride back to Negril on the same bum
numbing drive. Crazy drivers and roads in this country.
We were glad to get home and go out for some dinner. Now we are just relaxing in the room and
watching ALF…yes that ALF. LOL!
