Traveldiary: Day 1: Jamaica

Last year in summer months a long-awaited dream came true: a cruise through the Caribbean! 

- two weeks, seven stops.

Our first destination was Ochos Rios, a little city in Jamaica.
Ochos Rios is spanish for "eight rivers".

From the ship I was impressed how green Jamaica looks.
After arriving we visited the Dunn's River Falls and did a rafting tour with a very friendly local man.
We just had to sit on the wooden boat and relax.
On our tour we saw turtles, Little Blue Herons and people swinging on lianas.
It was a very calm tour with very beautiful nature. I would like to have swim in the water falls but there wasn't enough time for it unfortunately.
Our next stop was a little market with handmade stuff from the locals. A lot of Bob Marley stuff and beach accessory.
Suddenly it started to rain which is not very atypical because it was hurricane saison. So we went back to our ship soon.

I hope I can visit this great place again for a longer period - besides the beautiful nature we experience the people were the most friendly, craziest and relaxed people I've ever met. Our tour guide was the best of all stops she sang all the time and told us a lot of anectodes about the life in Jamaica.
One day wasn't definitely enough!
