Back in Jamaica part III

We have reached the halfway mark of our trip. How time flies. On Tuesday there was a big bash for the Olympic winners from Jamaica. During their tour around the island they made a stop in Montego Bay. We attended it in the steaming heat. Much to my suprise it was an organised crowd. Each and every one of them proud to be a Jamaican. Of course the crowd cheered the loudest when Usain Bolt made his appearance.

It is amazing how organized this beautiful country is. The merchandise was available all over the place.
The Bushman stopped to make conversation with us. It was sensational. A day that ended at Mobay Proper, a local restaurant to send off Marc who, unfortunately was leaving the next day.
They were out of the steamed fish which was the whole point of us eating out. So later that evening Marcus and I had a romantic dinner at The Native, a restaurant with an exquisite cuisine. Wednesday was not so nice. We brought Marcus to the Airport and Kiara and I went to see a doctor.
Kiara for an inner ear infection, and myself for tendonitis. The medics are fine here, either educated here, in England or in Cuba. It was interesting to hear that the hospital here in Montego Bay also has a nuclear department. Very handy indeed.
The medicine kicked in quickly..but we are still missing Marcus a lot.
