so i'm back in the connected part of the world. not much of a wireless there in jamaica, but beautiful landscape, adorable climate and overtly friendly people. theiy're driving on the left, though, which is a little scary.
as this was my first ever resort holiday, i felt like a trapped cat when we arrived. and like a trapped cat i acted. i had myself relocated to another resort the very next day because of planes leaving the sangster airport which is right across the street of the mobay resort. they tell the people they should wave at the planes and kiss every time one has passed. but they were too loud for my taste, so i fled. to a town called ocho rios. beautiful resort, very caribbean, crooked structure but awful beach compared to the one in mobay. so the trapped cat effect kicked in once again, so i had myself relocated within the resort right away and after one night i obviously wanted to go back 'home' to mobay. johannes was sweet and enduring and undauntedly asked at the front desk if we could. well we couldn't for the next three days and that finally gave me the chance to stop running around in circles and have some real holiday. so we discovered the phantastic pool with the swim up bar and spent most of our days there. of course, when we were finally heading back towards mobay, i had gotten used to everything in ocho rios and i didn't want to go any more, but we went anyway, because i didn't really dare to ask for any more readjustments. and, after all, i love to be chauffeuered and it was a beautiful 2 hour trip. i took some pictures on this trip, but missed two sujets i had spotted on our way to ocho rios. one of them was this awesome rastafari sitting in a huge excavator, such a gorgeous sight. pity i missed it.
well, back in mobay, the planes were still a nuisance, but i was determined to wave this time. this poor little cat had finally decided to give up the fight and enjoy resorts. resorts are great in some respect. you get fed a lot, all the drinks are complimentary, and this one was a couples only (i just loved it, back in apopka at the altamonte mall, i couldn't help but think just how great it would be to have couples only malls, too), and they have super cool workouts and gyms. i fell in love with an elliptical workout device, some days i would even use it twice for my quickly developped half hour fat burning routine. i need to get one of these at home, it is fun and the results are striking. instead of getting fat and lazy from all the food, i even felt trimmer and had more energy at the end of our jamaica visit.
and end it did.
