Arrived Montego Bay in sunny weather, bright blue sky, what a change from dark November in the UK.
We had to get a porter for our baggage to go a few yards from the area where you have to leave the airport trolley, to the bus arrival area, and that cost $5. A bit over the top!
Long ride from MoBay to Ocho Rios, seemed to go on for ever, I guess it was under two hours but seemed longer. Driver gave a running comentary on the size of the huge hotel complexes along the way. We stopped off for beer and restroom (toilet)use. My first Red Stripe of the holiday!
Driver was cheerful, but none of the passengers were anything more than anxious to get to their destinations.
Luckily the hotel complex we are staying at was efficient and there was no delay on showing us to the room on first floor. Nice, large room with four poster bed, balcony (without a view, unless you crained your neck to a tiny glimpse of sea), New bathroom suite and plenty of space everywhere.
Too late to eat - by the time we had had a shower and changed clothes, in any restaurant, but had jerk chicken at the grill place in the grounds, where it was too dark to see much, despite a minute candle on the table.
