Dunns River Falls, Coyaba Gardens, shopping
We did not have a tour this morning, so we walked from the ship to the shopping area, finding 2 geocaches along the way. One geocache was full of recipes. You really never know what you will see. You do need to watch prices in the shops. For instance, Sangsters Banana Rum liqueur varied in price from $25 at one shop to $14 at the duty free shop.
The afternoon tour first took us to Dunn's River Falls, the site of a historic British victory over the Spanish in 1657. Locals were arriving in bathing suits and water shoes. It didn't take long to find out why. We walked through the jungle to the bottom of the 180 foot falls which empty into the Caribbean Sea. Here groups were lined up, holding hands, and slowly zigzagging their way up the falls. It would have been such fun to do that! We were here about 45 minutes.
Coyaba Garden is a 3 acre rainforest garden. There were a variety of birds, flowers, banana plants, avocado plants, towering banyan and cedar trees, and more. We followed the garden path to Mahoe Falls and Ysassis Lookout Point with its views of the Harbour and Caribbean Sea.
Then, we were dropped off at a shopping area downtown.
Quite a busy afternoon. We crashed with friends at the Aquavit lounge. It was a lovely evening to sit outside. The ship pulled away from the dock, and just floated for a few hours.
Entertainment tonight was a combination of the Brazilian Tango dancers and pianist Garin Bader. Such talented people.
