8:30 we have the first coffee and tea at the self-service stand. Today is a holiday and most stores are closed, so we drive to a hotel with a public bar and eat breakfast here: I order pancakes with papaya and Harry different kinds of bread.

Before breakfast at Jenny’s, I try to connect to Skype again in the public area and it works, I talk to my family for half an hour, then we go for breakfast.

Until breakfast at 9 o’clock the suitcases are already brought into the car. Today there is once again typical Jamaican breakfast. After the last bill is paid and Roger explains us still a description of the way, we start 9:45 o’clock in our last accommodation before the AIDA cruise, in Negril. I quickly congratulate Dad on his birthday via Messanger, since it is not clear whether we have Wi-Fi again in the next guesthouse.

Today we take our first boat trip together with the nice Californians. The brother of the employee Anika has a fishing boat that lies at the “Lover Rock Beach” and with it we go to the Black River, a river that flows into the ocean and in which still 300 wild crocodiles live, so there is no guarantee that we see any.

The first night in our new accommodation was excellent, no jungle noises, there was a mosquito screen for us and the fan was on overnight.

Today we leave the Blue Mountains and drive south to Treasure Beach, a small fishing village that is not yet so touristy and has beautiful sandy beaches.
Before the start of the trip I thought that Harry and I are well tanned after a week in Jamaica and have often been swimming on the beach, as it turns out, there are not dreamy sandy beaches on every coast.

Apart from the strong thunderstorm, I could sleep surprisingly well under my own mosquito net!

The night was again quite difficult, because the fan in the room is very loud, but keeps the mosquitoes away and the jungle sounds are unusual for city dwellers. Today we change the accommodation and go to the Blue Mountains, the largest mountain range in Jamaica. I have the accommodation from the current Lonely Planet guidebook, the website was very promising and I really wanted to stay here, we stay two days.

After a very good breakfast, the second attempt to drive to Port Antonio starts today. At 10 o’clock it goes off, we head first a lighthouse to make here our first geocache in Jamaica. On the island there are manageable just under 40 caches, certainly almost all laid by tourists.

The first night in the new accommodation is much better in terms of insects, the fan is unfortunately very loud, but overall it is more restful. Due to the time change we are always awake very early around 6:30.
