On our way, we decided to stop for 5 Jamaican minutes (20 minutes or so in Norwegian/US terms). There was a shack by the road that sold us cold Heineken, and the view from the wall was quite beautiful:
After yet another night of heavy drinking, we met for breakfast at Chris', a local shack down the road. Notice there are a few 'Champion Breakfasts' on the table:
The first excursion of the day consisted of a boat ride up the Black River, which inhabits crocodiles. We were to move far up the river, take a short breather and swim at a nice location, and then roll back down to meet up with our drivers at approximately noon. Some pictures from the boat:
The thing in the water to the right is actually a spear fisher. Swimming in crocodile infested water.
It wasn't until we were about to pull in to the pier again that we actually saw crocs, three of them in total. Here's the first one we spotted:
There was one hiding just under the surface right next to that one, but this is the real treat right here:
After saying 'in a while', we left for YS Falls. This is a series of waterfalls located on the property of a ranch/farm maybe an hour from Black River. For a small fee, water-craving tourists as myself can go swimming in the delicious waters of this astonishing site. This picture is taken from the middle of the falls looking towards the top:
This is shot from the bottom of the falls, looking towards the top:
In the transport on our way back to the parking lot, we had another wheel mishap:
Having been moving around all day, we were scheduled to eat at a local cook shop called Howie's Truck Stop. Without leaving blame or telling you not to visit, this might have been the place of my food poisoning/not fun night. Jeffrey-man in a known posture:
Liz, Veronica et al. waiting to leave for the hotel:
That night also ended in copious amounts of alcohol, but the following morning was not as fun. This concludes part 2 of Jamaica, the rest should be out tomorrow!
