One of my favorite memories when I went to Jamaica last April was hiking up Dunn's River Falls, a very famous tourist attraction in the Caribbean.
A little trivia that our tour guide shared about Dunn's River Falls is that it served as location shoots for famous Hollywood movies such as Cocktail which starred Tom Cruise, and the first James Bond film, Dr. No.
About 600 feet high, the cascading waterfalls are terraced like giant stair steps, some of which are man-made improvements. Appropriate footwear is required for climbing Dunn's River Falls. Water shoes are available for purchase or rental in the area, but I didn't need to worry about that, because Vince and I brought our own.
I was a bit scared to climb up at first. The water current was strong, and it was not anything like walking on a sandy beach. The surface was rocky and slippery, and there were no rails to hold on to, so you really have to watch your footing, and if possible, form a hand-holding human chain with the rest of the tour group. I was glad that Vince was there to push and pull me up and hold me whenever I hesitated.
I gained more confidence later on the tour as I got the hang of climbing up the waterfalls. The tour guides were very helpful too, and they made sure that everyone was safe, and at the same time, having fun. We were dunked into the water; we slid down the falls; we dipped and plunged into the water; we crawled and passed through small lagoons; and we smiled and cheered for the video and camera!
At the end of the hike, a copy of the video and picture prints were available for purchase. Since we didn't bring enough cash with us, we contented ourselves with buying just one photo for souvenir's sake with printed caption that says, "We survived the World's Famous Dunns River Falls Ocho Rios JA." To which I say, "Heck yeah!" ☻

ReplyDeleteNasubukan mo bang magpa dreads don, KM? Nacurious ako or were you able to dance to the beat of Jamaican reggae music? Ireee! Jah! LOL!
@ Lainy, hindi ako nagpa-dreads, although gustong gusto akong i-dreads dun sa resort kasi ang haba ng buhok. hehe. alam ko kasi once i-unlock ko yung dreads, mag-p-poof na parang afro yung buhok ko. lol. pero ya, as in naaliw ako sa Jamaican reggae dun, parang national anthem nila yung "One Love" ni Bob Marley :) Irie, Yeah Mon! ;)
ReplyDeleteO nga naman. Baka masira pa ang maganda at mahaba mong buhok. Pero ha, no need na magpa-perm sa Afro look, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAy naku! Sobrang sikat nga yang kanta na yan at iba pang Bob Marley songs, memorize ko na din yang One Love dahil nga lagi ding nasa playlist ng Kuerdas, LOL!
