We got on a bus and went on an all day tour to Negril. Our bus driver was Keith and our tour guide was Darlene.

On our way we saw all sorts of houses and a couple of small towns and lots of goats.
We stopped at Margaritaville in Negril and had lunch and enjoyed the afternoon on the white sandy beach! While at the bar there was a man there who balanced all sorts of stuff on his chin and nose, a drink tray, a scarf and even a chair.

After Margaritaville we headed off to Rick's Café to watch a beautiful sunset. Rick's is a pretty popular place it was crowded and people were watching the Master Divers dive from trees that had to be at least 60 feet up.

Also there were the little street kids that were jumping if you paid them $2.
