The Purple Penguin

Last day in Jamaica and we’re off to Trinidad. Being collected at 10.30 and the flight is at 2pm. We’re flying off with many of the Caribbean delegates who were at the conference as we’re stopping on another couple of islands along the way to Trinidad. So I get to work for another few hours. Should be in Trinidad by 8.30 tonight.

Yesterday was the main meeting of the organisation and that wen’t well. We managed to finish it up before lunch and so could do a nice tour of Kingston. Well, Devon House and the Bob Marley Museum. Didn’t get to do much at Devon House though a few people had ice cream (I was too full from lunch – the food has been fabulous) and then spent about 2 hours at the Bob Marley Museum. We were the last group through. It was interesting to see the museum again and nice to get to see a bit more of Kingston.

We got back hotel after the time we were suppose to have been collected for dinner! So we were given more time to get ready and then out to Eden Place for dinner. We had a set up on an open veranda area complete with band. Lovely dinner but very loud, really could not chat to people. But then that’s Jamaica – if you can squeeze a sound system in and turn it up loud you do. It was a fun dinner with lots of dancing and drinking and eating. I was surprised when it ended before 11 but we had people flying out at ridiculously early times in the morning (taxi collection started at 4.45am!).

Up this morning, breakfast, good-bye to the people who are staying a bit longer or flying out a bit later and we’re now packed and waiting to go.
