(click on collage to see pictures bigger)So for our last stop we headed to Bob Marley's home of JAMAICA. Our Excursion here was to hike Dunn River Falls and then spend the rest of the afternoon and a private section of a beach. Now I was thinking before that we would just be hiking on a trail along side a waterfall and then maybe get to stand in it or something. However, these falls were more like a river going down all these rock steps. So we actually hiked THROUGH the falls/river. It was fun to kind of be in the jungle and trek through the water (which actually had a strong current sometimes).
Then our little guide, with her thick Jamaican accent talked us through our bus tour as we headed for the beach. The part that we drove through was definitely not the nice resort part of the island. At the beach we enjoyed Music, Dancing and some Jamaican food. It was nice to enjoy the beach for a bit. However Chris thought it was a bit boring since it didn't have "waves" to ride and play in (I guess he is not the relaxing type).
On the ride back to the ship our guide quizzed us on the things she told us on the tour. Well you combine my competitive nature, my teacher-side and my love of "trivia" I DOMINATED and won myself quite a few Jamaican coins. Our whole family dominated actually... I think we were the only ones sober enough from the beach to answer!
Overall, I think Jamaica was the most lush and beautiful with it mountains and foliage, however it was the most "sketchy" too.

Fun! We went to Jamaica on our honeymoon:) It was beautiful and fun, but yeah, the non resort parts of the island were not so nice--we only left our resort once (and it was to go straight to a different touristy place/resort area haha).
The "sketchy" description made me laugh! Looks like you guys had a nice relaxing time before all the chaos of school begins! Good luck!
Tell me what you think!
