Sea Point Resort Negril

Dinner last night was delicious. We were sat out on the terrace (great view of the place) and it started to rain (properly rain) half way through our starters. The waiters - who appeared fairly used to this - quickly ushered us all inside, brought our tables in, and carried on as if nothing had happened. It was quite funny. The rain didn't last long, but an electrical storm lasted long into the night. We sat up for some time watching ...

... the sea (we saw some dolphins as we were having lunch) before heading to the "Sands" - the resort bar, if you like - for sundowners and a spectacular sunset. Dinner was superb.

Yesterday we went on our snorkelling trip (with guide Paul) through some of the caves, which was awesome. There was a bit of diving down to swim under rocks to get into 'secret' caves which was fun. We spent the afternoon relaxing, and then wandered over to a local bar ("Rick's cafe") for ...

... the setting of this place is quite amazing - and the "resort" (feels wrong to use that word) looks lovely. Lots of spots for jumping off the cliffs into the sea, and our room is very cool. Tomorrow we will snorkel, and have dinner in a cave. All good! Drinks and food both look amazing. The weather is hot and sunny, with the odd tropical downpour (these never last long). Lunch time now, so I have to dash. See/speak to you all next week. Much love, D&K

... i hodet paa deg alle sammen, helst paa likt.. og alle skal bare vise hva de har i butikken sin, og hvor lite de trenger at man skal kjope saann at de har mat til kvelden. Og det er jo klart at veldig mange blote turister med hawaiiskjorter og store lommeboker gaar paa det. Og saa betaler turistene med us dollar, og faar tilbake jamaican dollar, som varierer i verdi ettersom folk foler for det :) Saa de faar altfor lite igjen! Men turistene med de ...

... spectacular.  The best meal we had was the night they closed the entire beach off for Scott and I.  The waiter moved our table to the edge of the water and it was waiting for us when we got down to the seaside at sunset.  Each course was better than the one before and it was so peaceful.  Wyatt came down later and joined us for dessert.   All in all it was an amazing trip.  We've already decided to back sometime in the future and try a different resort next time so stay tuned!

Evening now on the 8th. Hired a taxi to take us directly from the resort to Negril, because of the possibility of torrential rain from Hurrican Paloma, which right now is less than a hundred miles offshore, Category 4, and headed for Cuba, which means a glancing blow to where we are. The surf at Negril is so high that there is no more beach on Seven Mile Beach. Really wild. Some minor damage and ...

... I looked back down the corridor and another plane load of people were approaching. More ladies join the line; but several refused to wait and hurried around the next corner. Large murals of Jamaica appeared on the walls and sets of steps led upward. Throngs of people were funneled into the opening and there was a mass of humanity trying to sort itself into another queue. We finally arrived at the top, and there stood two immigration workers. They turned out to be ...

... It is definitely night now so it's best to err on the side of caution. At one point I turn around to look down the beach again and a very fine looking man catches my eye and seems to be heading towards the bar where I'm sitting. But as he walks closer my eyes light up as I realize its Piper! In my bewilderment of how he found us at this exact bar a big grin spans my face and I jump up and give him a hug! Its actually been 11 months since my last trip ...
