Day 2: We left the resort in the early morning in pursuit of adventure. From Montego Bay we drove through Trelawny to get to St. Ann’s parish, in which a town Ocho Rios is located. Our first stop was at Dunn’s River Falls. A hikable waterfall that turns into an estuary, opening up to the Caribbean Sea. From the mouth of the river we embarked on a wet escapade, clinging to the limestone as the flowing water poured over us. It took us nearly an hour to reach the top of the waterfall and the view was breathtaking.
Soon after this feat, we continued on to the Blue Hole (where the above picture was taken). Within minutes of our arrival, we were jumping off the rocks into the cool, blue water below. We used the rope swing off the higher rocks and kept working our way up through the woods to get to other ‘blue holes’. Each blue hole was unique in its own way, from underwater caves, waterfalls, and mud baths. It was an incredible experience to walk through the thicket, interact with the locals working in there, and jump off thirty-feet high rocks!
After these two excursions with our adrenaline pumping, a Red Stripe and some saltfish were the perfect remedies to beat the exhaustion and give us energy for the night.
