Ocho
Rios, Jamaica(2019)
We
were on our own in this port since the excursions offered weren't
"our thing" From our balcony we could see the enclosure where some would interact with sealife After "Seven Mile Beach" in the Caymans, the private beach excursion behind the enclosure wasn't for us either |
|
 |
 |
We
should have paid more attention to the public beach |
It
had a dedicated area suitable for swimming laps We even met some of our crew members there The fee was only $3 ($5 if you wanted a beach chair) |
 |
 |
Still,
exploring the town had it's own memorable reward I
was one of the few tourists to accept the invitation to play the
bongos |

They
were quite surprised when I added my uninhibited rendition of "Jamaica
Farewell" ..."I took a trip on a sailing ship and when I reached Jamaica I made a stop - and I'm sad to say, I'm on my way. Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around, I had to leave a sailor boy in Kingston Town" |

Of
course, there was shopping before walking back to the ship |
