Day 7: Jamaica

There are no pictures of Jamaica.  None.  All were taken on my cell phone, which is dead.  Since we did not have cell service on the cruise, there was no backing up to icloud.  We only have our memories of this day, unless by some miracle I will be able to get the pictures from my phone.

We took a tour of the Green Grotto caves.  There was a fun history to the caves that involved pirates.  Real pirates.  Our tour guide was entertaining, but our group was really big, and it was hard to hear him at times.

I pulled these pics of the caves from google




The final scene from the James Bond move "Live and Let Die" was filmed in these caves (or maybe it was another JB movie...)
Lots of bats live in the caves.  I knew this when booking the tour, and still chose to do it.

Following the cave tour, we took the shuttle to a beach area where we ate a yummy meal of Caribbean Jerk chicken, rice and red beans, cole slaw with pineapple, and hush puppies.  Megan didn't like it.  The rest of us cleaned her plate for her.  The beach was super soft sand, and very bright blue water.

Later that night on the ship, it was Pirate Night.  There was a big party on Deck 11, followed by fireworks.  I was already sleeping, but the boys attending parts of it and had fun.
