Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman

Our first stop was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We hiked Dunn's River Falls and when I say we hiked the waterfall, that is exactly what I mean. We were in the water and started at the bottom. Parts were tricky, but it was so much fun.


Saying goodbye to Jamaica


Here we are in Grand Cayman, home of the bluest, clearest water I've ever seen! The ships cannot port on the island, so they have to anchor out in the ocean. On this day there were four Carnival ships but our Snuba instructor told us that on one day there could be up to 12 ships out there.


We went Snuba diving at Stingray City. This is a shallow scuba (20 ft), where the tanks float on rafts above you. I had a rough time with the whole snuba idea, so the instructor brought one of the stingrays up to me and I was able to hold her. It was incredible.
