Day 3: Ocho Rios, Jamaica:

Was ok. We did this tour where we went to the Cobayo River Gardens and Museum and then went to Dunn’s River Falls. Let me tell you, every tour in Jamaica went to Dunn’s River falls! You can’t avoid that place!

So the first stop was the gardens, which were nice. Very well taken care of and the tour guide was pretty cool. A lot of the plants were stuff we have here in Florida, but the Banyan trees were really neat!

They also had a koi pond and a mullet pond! We received the usual “We have photos and video for sale” and were ok with that till half way through the tour we stopped for a guy who ate fire, asking for tips, and a guy with a parrot who would let you take a picture with the parrot, for a small donation of course. I didn’t know if I should be annoyed or feel bad for them!

Dunn’s River Falls was not what I expected. I thought you just walked up stairs and stuff along the falls. Checking out the scenery along the way. HELL NO! You literally walk up the falls!

The guides and your fellow group mates help you, and they were very nice. Unfortunately, half-way up my legs were shaking from the strain so bad that I was afraid I would fall and hurt myself, so I went ahead and collected our stuff to head out. “But wait! You have to do this! No chickens in my group!” my tour guide says. You see, there was this one spot where you fall back and the water is real deep so it’s safe. Oh yeah, but you need to keep a hand on your glasses. You mean the hand that was holding the water bottle or the hand that was holding the camera? Yep, you guessed it…I lost my prescription sunglasses. On vacation. Again. *sign* Maybe that’s why I had brought the goggles that were in the pack on the bus……

Obviously Keith finished the climb.

And we both had fun.Till I decided I had to go to the bathroom…which you had to go through the straw market to get to….*sigh*

Here are the rest of the pcitures from Jamaica.
