Vista do mar do Cararibe dos penhascos de Negril e de nosso pátio de entrada coberto

Esta é nossa vista do pátio de entrada coberto na primeira manhã em Jamaica. Nós estivemos em Negril para justo sobre dez dias agora e é tempo onde eu comecei alguns fotos e material novos acima. Estes seriam alguns de nossos primeiros retratos aqui em Negril. É tempo de verão naturalmente e embora o sol esteja quente a vida da cidade é consideravelmente quieta. Não muitos turistas na cidade para o calor do verão assim que das coisas são direita extremamente lenta agora. Frequentemente épocas nós encontramo-nos os únicos patrons de um estabelecimento e de certas vezes que abrem acima apenas para nós. Há um bom e um bad àquele que nós estamos encontrados com pelas caras amigáveis mas épocas seja resistente e todos quer fazer algo de nós.

Nós começamos usados a ele rapidamente e uma empresa “nenhuma agradece-o” as tampas quase tudo. Nós começamos a batida sobre algumas refeições porque nós não pensamos para inquirir sobre o preço antes que nós requisitamos alguns lugares. Batê-lo-ão duramente na extremidade se puderem e não embarrassed para negociar nenhuma verificação o entregarem. Os tempos são toda excedentes resistente e meu dinheiro é mantido melhor em meu bolso. Os Jamaicans realmente apreciam um barter bom mas não têm nenhum amor para uma pessoa barata. Se você não puder estabelecir um negócio curse provavelmente o para desperdiçar seu tempo como se era mais valioso então seu.

Praia de Negril em 07-07-07

A praia de Negril no verão é uma coisa bonita e o sol brilha para baixo em nós o dia inteiro aqui. A praia e a água são nossos pontos favoritos assim distante e foi muitos de relaxar e de chilling no sol para nós desde nossa chegada. Nós estamos movendo-nos lentamente para fora e aproximadamente e eu tenho cargas de mais material a afixar sobre mas uma parte grande de nossa estada era o divertimento da água para os miúdos. 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.
