JAMAICA

The week has been really hectic although yesterday I made my first sale! Made me feel a bit better about myself. Last night was an Aussie outback party in the Crew bar, we have an Activities team and manager what make sure we have something planned for each night.

Today I had the day off and we were in Jamaica. 5 of us decided to go around the island a bit. Hopped into a shuttle and off we were to Jamaica town. It is exactly how I pictured it in the movies, Everyone has dreadlocks, Reggae music plays everywhere.
Bob Marley "Don't worry bout a thing, cos every little things gonna be alright" was playing in the shuttle.
They dropped us off at the beach, we had lunch at a typical Jamaican restaurant, then off to the beach. WOW!! The sand is white and the sea is transparent, the water is clear and about 10 degrees warmer than Durban. I just sat in the water for about 2hours, there are no waves so you can just sit and waddle around.
Went shopping a bit, bought some souvenirs.
Shuttle took us back to the Ship at 3pm.

Jamaica sayings:
"ya man"
"no problem"

I think most of them are completely stoned and they drive far worse than a Joburg taxi any day!

I figured out how to use the ships phone in my room so was able to phone home. I have met many people, I spend most of my time with the South African girls, my roommate (Maran) and a girl who works as a youth staff (Amy from Calafornia)
I think there are far more South Africn staff than anything else. It is great though, we want to have a South African party in March, Braai, Biltong and Boerie!!!

Watched a spectacular Sunset form the top deck whilst we left Jamaica. Tomorrow is Labadee Haiti, until then..........
