Day Tripping

While we were in Jamaica we visited the Dunn's River Falls which is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.

According to Wikipedia
About 600 feet (180 m) high,[3] the waterfalls are terraced like giant stair steps of which some are man-made improvements. Several small lagoons are interspersed among the vertical sections of the falls. Climbing up the waterfalls is a popular tourist activity and is often, but not exclusively, performed with the help of tour guides from the park. It takes around 1-1.5 hours to climb with short breaks for photographs and video recordings taken by the tour guides. The falls are bordered by lush, green vegetation that shades the area from the sun. This helps keep the area cool as people try to climb the waterfall. The falls can be hiked with relative ease, often in a hand-holding human chain lead by a guide.
As we posed for one of the pictures; Wayne decided to dunk me in the falls. I would highly recommend not only going to see this amazing waterfall, but to climb it, as it is well worth the price of admission.

Blessings
