Thursday - Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Thursday we stopped in Jamaica. We loved Jamaica! I really think it was because we had the best tour guide ever. His name was Javia Shaw and he is with www.knowjamaica.com so if you ever go there use him and his mom Marva. They were awesome! We got right off the boat at 8am this day and met Javia. He took us straight to Dunn's River falls. We beat the crowds because a lot of people were getting there as we were leaving. The falls were a lot of fun. It was pretty crowded but we still had a great time. For those of you who don't know, at Dunn's River Falls you hike from the beach up some cascading waterfalls. You hike about 1000 feet in total. It's not a hard hike at all but it is really fun. Here are some pictures of it:





After the falls, Javia took us to a store to get some souvenirs and then off to the beach. We went to Mahogany beach for a couple hours. The water was SO warm! I even met a crazy Jamaican man! Of course they want money for pictures!


Ladies were beggin to braid my hair. I just told them i had no money and they left us alone!

After the beach Javia took us back to the ship. He was great and kept us away from all the people offering marijuana, which is what happened to other people we talked to.


We got on the boat and had more sandwiches and of course dessert! Did our usual afternoon routine of napping and sitting in the hot tub. Oh I also had to do my cardio this afternoon. I only did 45 min today just in the gym. Dinner of course was great. It was formal night. Here is us all dressed up:


We were going to go to the show but I fell asleep. We like to sleep on vacation. That is all for Thursday!
