VISITS AND VACATIONS

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are going to the beautiful island of

JAMAICA

1. Bathe under the Dunn’s River Falls

Hidden between the green, green jungles just outside of high-class Ocho Rios and its picture-perfect James Bond beaches, the Dunn’s River Falls carve their way through the hills in a series of breathtaking stepped cataracts.

One of the undisputed must-sees of the island, the site draws groups of tourists and tour guides eager to wade through the gushing waters and scale the 180-meter long shelves of travertine that form the waterfall itself.

The trip can be strenuous, requiring visitors to cling to the protruding rocks, hop up the water-doused steps and wade through the plunge pools. Dunn’s River Falls occupy a gorgeous glade in the middle of the Jamaican jungles; a spot where once the British colonial armies fought the Spanish for control of the island as a whole!

2. Kick-back on Seven Mile Beach

Stretched out for – you guessed it! – seven long miles of the picture-perfect Jamaican west coast, Seven Mile Beach is consistently rated as one of the top on the island; nay, in the world! Of course, it’s got all the shimmering alabaster-white sands and the lapping waters of turquoise blue you’d expect of a popular tropical beach, but there’s also more.

Take the clifftop bars of Negril town, which crown the rocks here with palm umbrellas and offer uber-romantic broadsides of the Jamaican sunset over the sea.

Then there is the unexpected hedonism and nightlife, which bubbles spontaneously out of the hotel bars after dark, spilling onto the sands in a medley of rum punches and mojitos, reggaeton and samba.

3. Wonder at the pretty colonial styles of Devon House

Devon House is something of a small enclave of calm that makes its home right in the heart of the throbbing capital city of Kingston.

Surrounded by manicured lawns of green grass and lanky coconut palms, it boasts a gorgeous array of whitewashed colonial architectural styles. It was constructed way back in the 1880s by the island’s first black millionaire, and today the interior rooms are open for touring.

Others (particularly the locals) will come on the weekends to simply kick back in the gardens and chill, or munch on the milky and refreshing ice creams of the nearby I-Scream joint (said to be the best on the island!)

Now i dont know about you but i want to go there what do you think?
