like it, love it, loathe it!

So we went on a cruise for christmas/new years and its was definitely a funfilled trip. I'm really bad at recaping these events in my life, i'll try my best and also let the pictures do the work.

First stop. Montego Bay, Jamaica
we climbed the Dunn's River falls, then took a stroll on "Sally" the camel with one hump.
Jamaica was a bit of a disappointment, I envisioned this beautiful tropical island with abundance of fruit and flowers. Which it probably has.. however we did not get to see that side of it.
Jamaica looked like an abandoned island in a nutshell. There were unfinished homes that were built and abandoned and lots of homeless people roaming the roads. Good experience to probably not visit there anytime soon.

Second stop. Grand Caymans, Cayman Islands
Caymans was just beautiful, the water was super clear and this is where we swam/kissed/got massaged by/with stingrays.
I loved this island. The people there are so welcoming and laid back. I definitely would love to visit Caymans again one day.


In Caymans, our tour guide swam to the bottom and found these. Those are called conch, we ate them raw. Very delicious!


Last stop. Cozumel, Mexico
We decided to ride scoot coupes! guess which one was mine?


yes, pretty in pink.

Cozumel was definitely an adventure. The tour guides lost two members of our group. So they were driving around by themselves, terrified in a whole nother country. Luckily they were found after 45 mins of their detour.
We also encountered another incident where they tried to charge us $30 per person for chips and salsa... there was 10 of us. They sure were out of their LOCO minds if they thought we were going to pay for it. HA!




Here we spent our new years on the deck of the cruiseship :)


Our last meal. This was super amazing!
Overall, this cruise was memorable and a definite must repeat on my list.
In fact, we're going again in April :)
