Oh, Jamaica. Here we are trying desperately to get as much adventure out of you as we can on the last day of fun. Ready, set, go!
We start the day off with an aggressive morning hike. Now, while the brochure for available activities mentioned that we could enjoy a simple 2.5-hour hike up the local Bluefields Mountain and that a staff member would take us, it did not imply that we’d all be sucking wind and sweating our rear ends off while doing so. We snagged a few shots along the way. That’s David behind us. He trotted up this mountain like it was a stroll in a grassy park. We stopped about eight (8) times along the way, drained our water bottles and kept asking, “Are we there yet?”
After we finished the morning hike, it was time for some breakfast and pool adventures. And you can only imagine what pool adventures lead to – pool bets. Here’s the successful outcome of J-Rob’s wager to dive into the pool while holding a full drink and to not only keep the drink above water, but to not spill any either. (Daren and Mike paid dearly for betting our little swimmer on that one.)
We spent the remainder of the day lounging around the pool and enjoying the sunset. We each got to say a toast at dinner, and our last toast was conducted by Mr. Chad Starns himself. I’ll share that toast here with you:
May the sound of happy music
And the lilt of Jamaican laughter
Fill your heart with gladness
That stays forever after.
Like any good party, things do have to come to an end and it’s time to say goodbye. Here we bid farewell to our new found friends Percy and Steve. Until our next adventure!
