We had 12 hours to explore this Caribbean island. Our Carnival cruise ship docked and we grabbed a taxi and headed to Dunns River Falls. At 180 feet high and 600 feet long this world famous landmark is the most popular of all Jamaican falls. Our group hiked 30 minutes through lush surroundings and small natural pools that you could swim in. Since Rosie was pregnant with Jacque, we climbed slowly up and down the slippery rocks and gushing water. At the base of the waterfall you could see where the falls empty into the sea at Dunns River Falls Beach making the falls one of the few travertine waterfalls in the world!
After the falls climb, we visited an open air marketplace/fair with dozens of booths selling Jamaican crafts, carvings, jewelry. One local named Cool Cat tried to openly sell our group reefer. We told him where to stick it. One Jamaican man was dressed in a colorful headdress & wanted $1 to have a photo with him.
