Every one sells everything
by jake5148
When you are a tourist in Jamaica you are a cahs cow inthe eyes of lots of locals who make a living from catering to tourists. You will be approached by several people selling their services as a driver, when you say you dont need one they will offer to sell you jerk chicken, when you reject that he will offer you girls, when you say no to that he will offer you Ganja or Marijuana. A good way to get rid of pesky sales men is to say I dont need anything and then say respect and bump knucles that is the universal symbol of were cool over there or Eiry in their language.
Gym Shoes!
by Teresanne4
Dont forget to bring your gym shoes. The resorts have a lot of rock climbing and other activities, but they wont let you participate with out gym shoes. I am planning our second trip now and gym shoes were the only thing we didn't bring and actually needed. I will defenitly be bringing them this year!
Well, because of time frames,...

Well, because of time frames, we didn't get to go, but received inside information from locals.
We were told that the Coyaba River Garden is beautiful, but better yet, 'the best botanical garden is Cronbrook Flower Forest', written and spoken from a true Jamaican local. *this picture was taken as our informative, lifeguard local was reading his book....* HELP I'm drowning! LARRY SAVE ME!!! Actually, his persona made me want to know him, and I found out he was a very friendly man with a couple good life saving stories. hmmmmmmm
Old Church
by tpangelinan
This photo is of what we were told was one of the oldest church in Jamaica. Told to be build in the 1700's By the time he explained what it was, it was to late for a good sahot at 70 MPH. ( Sorry ) It's located on the road from Montego Bay to Ocho about 3/4 the way there to Ocho. In a small town with many small block houses and broken down cars, the area seemed rather poverish.
Waterfalls
by amybrooke
We went to Dunn's River Falls. It took about 30 minutes via a catamaran. They served beer and frozen drinks on the way there. Once there you climb up holding hands with everyone due to the slippery conditions. They will take your pictures as the water cascades behind you... very cold!! It is alot of fun. After you walk up the waterfall there will be some ladies at the top tossing down beads to the girls. You stay a while on the semi-secluded part of the island. While there you can take some really pretty pictures.
