Montego Bay – Fisherman’s Inn - 42 km
The weather was already sweltering when I cycled out of Montego
Bay. Progress was slow as I stopped at beachside bars to get water
and chat with villagers.
Falmouth, a typical Jamaican town with a long history, had a few old
buildings. It was still too hot to explore, so I continued along the
coast. The village of Rock is home to a phosphorous lagoon, where
one can see phosphorescence at night. I opted for the Fisherman’s
Inn and waited until darkness to witness the spectacle. Unfortunately,
the Fisherman’s Inn was neglected, with scarcely anyone about, but
still, I didn’t complain as the room was inexpensive, right on the
lagoon and it sported a lovely pool. Luckily, a convenience store at
the gas station supplied an inexpensive evening meal.
Later, rain started bucketing down, and the boat never went out. I
was immensely sad about the missed opportunity.
