Cruise 2010: Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Jamaica was nice and pretty and all, but it really was not our favorite place. In fact, Brando was a bit mad by the afternoon because he was so annoyed by all the locals' aggressive tactics to get our money. Everywhere you turned someone wanted to sell you something or try and get you a deal!
The first thing we did in Ocho Rios [8 rivers], Jamaica was catch a cab to the Dunn's River Falls. We were able to hike up the falls approximately 600 feet. It was so pretty and fun!
Some parts were really slippery with such a fast current so you needed guard rails...
It was all so fun and very jungle-ish...
After the hike we walked up and down the main streets in downtown. We thought about going snorkeling, but everything required a "small fee". It was just kind of a damper so we ended up doing a lot of looking because we were hearing a ton of "no fee for looking"...
Jamaica may have made us sound like cheapos, but we really had fun on this beautiful island. On another note, Cayman Islands was a blast and it's coming next!

Thanks a lot for posting a picture of a spider. Now I am going to have nightmares. Good thing I don't get much sleep anymore.
