Once again, Craig has been the perfect chaperon and took me out in Kingston on my last night here. I'm home now and I already miss Jamaica, it was really a great vacation and it taught me a lot about myself and being open to experiences.
Anyway moving along, we went to two places. The first was East Japanese for Sushi. I've been told it's one of the best sushi places in Jamaica and more info can be found here. The atmosphere was nice, you can choose to either dine outside or inside (however on a warm night like Friday night I would suggest indoor dining). There is a sushi bar inside as well as a formal dining area and on each table there is a "mat" with instructions as to how best enjoy your sushi rolls. I thought this was quite amusing as I have been to a few sushi places in Trinidad and haven't seen such a mat.
We dined on a traditional Philadelphia roll, a spicy Philadelphia roll and a Dragon Fire roll, all were fantastic but cream cheese is my weakness, so the Philly rolls win hands down.
For drinks I had my favourite Mudslide, which though a bit on the sweet side was good. Craig opted for a blended fruit punch (which I have had previously and is really good, Jamaica has the best variety of juices I have ever come across!)
After enjoying the sushi, which was actually pretty tasty and filling, we headed over to Devon house (which is another must visit when you go to Jamaica) to one of its many shops called the Grogge Shoppe for drinks. The Grogge Shoppe has both an outdoor terrace and indoor area. The outdoor atmosphere there at night is amazing and very intimate whether you're with someone special or just hanging out with some friends. I had my beloved baileys and I took just one picture because at this point I hadn't charged my camera since the Mystic Mountain/Dunn's River Falls adventure the previous weekend. I hope this one picture captures how intimate the outdoor setting is.
In all I had a great last night in Jamaica. I wish my stay had been longer, its funny how 11 days flies when you are having fun. I hope to visit sometime again in the future and take more pictures to add to my memories of the island.
