As you should know by now, our home base was in Montego Bay.  Although this was a very nice and laid back area, we wanted to get out to Negril for some cliff diving, check out 7 mile beach & rent some wave runners.  Our friend Morris who worked at the main bar hooked us up with a cool driver named Jasper.

Jasper drove us to Negril which was about and hour from Montego Bay.  During the ride out we enjoyed the weather, views and ehhhh, well some other things.  Especially Ari, once we got into Negril Ari was in rare form, and his eyes were  unusually red, he must have been sitting too close to the window or something.....

 

Our first stop was at the place where we rented the wave runners. It was 50$ per person, but there was a group ahead of us so we stopped at this cool little bar on the beach and had a few red stripes while waiting. I have to say I know why 7 Mile beach is the #3 beach in the world.  It was so nice, and the women walking around just added to its beauty.

After having a few beers, it was time to head out on the wave runners.  We all went out, it was a bit choppy but still a fun time.  When it was time to head back in Ari was no where to be found.  Dustin road over to me and explained that Ari thought wave runners could go through Corel reef's and he was stuck on one.  We went to tell someone so they could get him, but ari got the attention of a person snorkeling  and they got him off the reef and he came in about 10mins after we got back.  We laughed about this for a few days.......
After having another drink, we piled back into the van and headed up to go cliff diving.  We drove through the narrow streets of Negril for about 5 minutes and pulled into this bar that over looked the cliffs.  Rob was the first to jump, the cliff was around 30ft and the view was great.  Ari showed off with his famous pencil dive to face plant, and took home a souvenir bloody lip.  (we have it on video)

Cliff diving was fun, but I would have liked to find some around 45ft, its always more fun if you have some fear in you.

Negril was about 5-7 degrees warmer then where we were staying and it definitely made us pretty tired.  So back into the van and we started the hour trek back to the hotel.  I think we all spent around 110$ each on this day trip, it was well worth it and we really didn't spend that much money the rest of the trip.  Rob & Ari hit the sluts (nick name for slot machines) coach lost every time, and Ari won a few times, but usually put all the money back into the machine.

If anyone heads out to Jamaica I recommend checking out Negril, it has a lot to offer.  The ride from Montego Bay to Negril was pretty cool, the views were just great.  The picture at the bottom of this page was taken on our way back.

 ABOVE:  The cliff that I am sitting on is where we were jumping off.  This is also the same place where the filmed pirates of the Caribbean.  There are caves directly below where I am sitting at the water level and that is where you swim into and climb back up through a tunnel to the bar.

BELOW:  Dustin in mid air, he was the last to go, and there is me underneath with my head cut off.
