Vue de mer des Caraïbes des falaises de Negril et de notre porche avant

C'est notre vue du porche avant le premier matin Jamaïque. Nous avons été dans Negril pour juste plus de dix jours maintenant et il est temps où j'ai obtenu des certaines nouvelles photos et substance vers le haut. Ce seraient certaines de nos premières images ici dans Negril. C'est heure d'été naturellement et bien que le soleil soit chaud la vie de ville est jolie tranquillité. Pas beaucoup de touristes dans la ville pour la chaleur de l'été ainsi des choses sont extra lents en ce moment. Souvent des périodes nous nous trouvons les seuls patrons d'un établissement et de quelques fois qu'ils s'ouvrent juste pour nous. Il y a un bon et un mauvais à celui du fait nous sommes rencontrés par les visages amicaux mais des périodes soyez dur et chacun veuille faire quelque chose à partir de nous.

Nous nous sommes habitués à lui rapidement et une société « aucune vous remercient » couvre presque tout. Nous avons obtenu le battement au-dessus de quelques repas parce que nous n'avons pas pensé pour nous enquérir du prix avant que nous ayons commandé quelques endroits. Ils vous frapperont dur à l'extrémité s'ils peuvent et ne sont pas embarrassés pour négocier n'importe quel contrôle vous remettaient. Les temps sont durs partout et mon argent mieux est maintenu dans ma poche. Les Jamaïquains réellement apprécient un bon échange mais n'ont aucun amour pour une personne bon marché. Si vous ne pouvez pas arranger une affaire ils vous maudiront probablement pour perdre leur temps comme si elle étaient plus valable puis vôtre.

Plage de Negril sur 07-07-07

La plage de Negril en été est une belle chose et le soleil brille vers le bas sur nous toute la journée ici. La plage et l'eau sont nos taches préférées jusqu'ici et c'a été beaucoup de détente et de refroidissement au soleil pour nous depuis notre arrivée. Nous sortons lentement et environ et j'ai des charges de plus de substance à signaler au sujet de mais une grande partie de notre séjour était l'amusement de l'eau pour les enfants. Our room at Heartbeat in Negril has an awesome view and the easy access to the beach and seas makes snorkel trips and frolicking in the water an easy activity for us all.

Our room does not have direct beach access and we are not on the famous Negril Beach. We’re currently at the base of the Cliffs of Negril and about a 2 minute cab ride at $150JA for the four of us. We do have a beach we can use that suits us just fine and it’s been a lot of fun for the kids to spend hours playing with some of the local boys on the beach. It’s behind a restaurant that seems more a late night bar but the day time crew at “On The Rocks” has been great. The beach here at Heartbeat is great but we much prefer the Negril Beach for a nicer cleaner beach with more activity and things to see. This beach is not maintained and some odd things are washed up on shore.

One of the best things about Jamaica is all the natural beauty around us. On our 3rd morning in I got up a it earlier than usual and was able to catch a great Sunrise from the rocks outside our room. I was able to get a decent shot of the sun rising over the Negril Beach with the Mountains in the background that was just an awe inspiring thing to witness live. No camera can do the colors any justice and my amateur photography is not up to the task yet. I’m still learning the new camera and whats best to use in conditions like this but man it was worth waking up early thats for sure. It turned out to be a picture perfect day. I caught the sunrise, a trip to the beach for some fun in the sun with the kids, some beautiful snorkeling along the coast of Negril after a fabulous lunch of local cuisine and ended the day with a perfect Sunset from the vantage point of our room and the porch out front.

Negril Beach on 07-07-07

After the sunrise and a likkle brekfast we ran down to Negril Beach so the family could finally see the famous beach. It was pretty hot and we had things to do like hit the Hi Lo so we we’re not there very long. After the trip to Hi Lo we decided to have lunch at Jennys Restaurant just up the road from us as no one wanted to cook or wait for something to be cooked. We took the Brown Stew Chicken because it was ready and we wanted to try it. It’s become a favorite meal especially for the low price of $200JA per plate. A full meal consists of healthy portion of chicken served with rice and peas, cabbage and vegetables. My review of Jennys comes soon.

Later in the day the kids hit the beach and dad did a little snorkeling off up the coast and around the rocks near the hotel. The water s great and the kids are taking to the sun and sea better than expected. They both have a few extra bite marks from the bugs but we’re controlling it. The beach is close by and easy for them to swim and me to explore while still watching them. This is nearly the same spot as the sunrise pictures but looking back towards the beach.

The sea life around Negril is awesome and the short dive I took on our third day was great. The biodiversity near shore is still strong although I was disappointed in the number of game fish to be found. There are tons of tropical fish of all flavors and the pictures above are a small sample of the underwater photos I have been able to take. I’ve see a lot of things on snorkel trips around the cliffs here in Negril and I’m looking forward to taking the camera on some bigger dive trips as we go further off coast and into some deeper waters on a glass bottom boat soon. Their seem to be loads of juvenile tropical fish in the area with lots of small butterfly and other damsels. I was surprised to see a few Rock Beauty Angels and a Juvenile Queen Angel but my shots on those are shoddy. I need a weight belt for better motion control and shot consistency.

I took a little nap during the afternoon showers which are very common here in Negril. It was nice to wake up to a cool refreshing breeze whipping through our room as it raced in from the ocean in front of us. The ocean breeze is really nice when we have it. Right now it’s hotter then heck in my room tonight as I type this blog post. It’s 11PM and about 85 C and I’m sweating like a pig in my bed. Theres a decent breeze tonight so I bust open the windows and hope for no mosquitoes. The afternoon showers make for some great cloud formations and leads into a perfect sunset and an end to a perfect day.
