Wakened by much chain clanking & just made it to breakfast by 7 so we were anchored in Montego Bay [Jamaica] & ready to leave by launch before we got our bearings. Low lying hills from the bay & we landed about 4 mi. from downtown. Shopped in the cluster of shops at the dock & enjoyed that – then took a taxi – $10 an hour for a ride up into the hills – Fairfax Hotel & through town to Cornwale Beach across from Casa Montego. 25 cent charge for a great hour of swimming. Waited in sun for 1 1/2 hrs. for calypso show which wasn’t calypso but was good. Back to ship by launch. Gorgeous sunset. Farewell Dinner – dressed – Show in Amalfi’s Lounge – full moon on deck.
