Today, we adventured away from Discovery Bay and made our way to Ocho Rios! We first made a stop at the famous Dunn’s River Falls! To my surprise and others, it was not what we expected and exceeded our expectations! We went down windy stairs and a path to the start of the falls at the ocean. We climbed several mini waterfalls, wad through lagoons, and crawled through a tunnel to emerge to the tremendous main waterfall. It was so much fun and a rush to strategically plan your next move and step while also trying not to wipe out or slip from the algae and the fire hydrant water hitting you. Jordyn, Kiyanni, and I had so much fun that we decided to try to climb the waterfall again after we had done it all together as a class. We even tried to time ourselves while being cautious to see how fast we could do it! We were very proud of ourselves for doing it in 20 minutes while having time to stop and take photos.

After our adventure at the falls, we made our way to Ocho Rios, where we had time to venture into the town and get lunch. We put our ‘fins to the left and fins to the right’ at Margaritaville for a bit to eat. Then, we explored the supper market and got some local snacks and food. After that, we quickly ventured to the straw market and got some souvenirs.

Overall successful day in Ocho Rios!
