I think my favorite stop the whole cruise was Jamaica. We smelled lots of pot and didn't rest the entire day.
We hiked the Dunn's river falls first thing. We were the first in line at 8:30. It was amazing. Our guide was bare foot! He said it was ok because he was a local. They actually brush the rocks so they aren't slippery. It was way fun.
After we hiked the falls we had an excursion scheduled to do a zip line over the forest canopy. It was so cool. There were 8 different lines, two of which were straight down. They just drop you. It took a lot of trust in people you have only known 1 minute. It was beautiful and humbling. On our way up the mountain we passed a lot of houses that were very hard to see. Some didn't have roofs. The people were all waiting at the road with buckets and barrels. Our guide told us that it was water day. None of them have running water so once a week or so a water truck comes through to fill their buckets up. It was sad, but he reassured us that they don't know any different. Some of them were on cell phones! It still made me think of all I have.
