The third stop on our cruise was Jamaica. Again, we took all of the kids off the ship and headed out for some adventure at Dunn's River Falls and Blue Hole. We had to buy some water shoes before heading to Dunn's River (we were told that we could not do it with bare feet...and we were glad that we listened, as the mud and rocks on the falls are very slippery and there likely would have been some accidents with our group had we not bought the water shoes). We had a fun hike up the falls, basically starting at the beach where the fresh water enters the ocean and hiking up to the top of the falls. We took our time and stopped for photos, natural waterslides, and just to play in the water whenever we could. It was a beautiful area, and although it was packed with tourists, we had some very cool guides that pretty much let us do whatever we wanted and take our time (instead of just getting into line and following the other people).

After Dunn's River Falls, we hopped back into the bus and headed out to a place called Blue Hole for some cliff jumping and rope swings by waterfalls in the Jamaican jungle. We all had a great time there and there were platforms for jumping as well as cliffs, there were a few waterfalls and a fun rope swing. Everyone got in on the action and we had a fun afternoon swimming in the river.

Eliza somehow managed to sleep in the bus (in potentially the most uncomfortable sleeping position any of us had ever seen), and, of course, we took advantage of the photo op.
