my trip started solo, a friend jumped in and jumped out . . . solo it is . . .
a lot of "firsts" for me after 25 years of travel . . .
having problems with my photos, hopefully will sort it out soon . . .
i arrived at 3 p.m. picked up a car and am off to rhyne park . . . a friend owns a guest house there and i promised to check it out and maybe stay . . .
as i'm driving up to it, i'm sure i won't be staying . . . house after house, row after row, street after street of same houses [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] . . . karl shows me the house, it's lovely inside but it's not for me. i drop karl off on the main road and i drive . . .
driving feels very natural now [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img] . . . i'm cruising down towards duncans, wanted to check out our jajewel . . . i pick up an old jamaican woman going to duncans . . . i tried and tried to find her [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] and was not successful . . .
now, the night is coming on and i'm back on the highway. no sooner i get settled, i see the police re-directing traffic [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img] . . . apparently a tanker spilled and we detoured through some bush area . . . two hours later, i'm back on the main road and now it's pitch black [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]
i drive straight through to ochi . . . relief [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img]
i check into the pierview, clean, safe, right on the main drag and it's cheap. mr. chin gave me a steal, i promised him i would not drag in the strays off the street [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img]
i shower and get back to the streets, settle in at john crow's . . . it's hopping . . .
a very young man is trying to get my attention [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img] . . . he's got to be 20 maximum . . . persistant, he is. when nothing worked i told him to "call his daddy" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] his buddy almost fell of the stool laughing . . . that set the mood for laughter . . .
i was chatting with a young couple from switzerland who were staying at jamaican grande . . . in the far corner i see six white men from the danish company that's fixing the roads (phil) i think . . . in no time, one of them comes over and invites me to join them. great. i'm bored so why not?
