We met a local person (we know the warnings) who we hired as a driver -- trust me, you do not want to drive here!
Dunn's River Falls in Ochos Rios should not be missed! You are able to actually climb the face of the falls -- with a guide, of course! The falls were several stories high with intermittent pools of water several feet deep. The falls are situated in a nature park and spill into a semi-protected bay where swimming and jet skiing are available.
The local fruit was also amazingly good – we bought it on the side of the road. We certainly were asked to buy our share of trinkets and other things, as you may guess, but all in all, we had many positive experiences with the people of Jamaica and were quite sad to leave this amazing paradise!
