We have just returned from a lovely holiday on the Caribbean with Royal Caribbean cruise lines. The ship was lovely and the most we had to decide for the week was what to eat and what activity to do. We visited Oches Rios in Jamaica where the vegetation and climate is a lot like Brisbane. We toured a public garden all the plants were familiar even to me. We also went to Dunn's waterfall where the tourists all form a chain and climb the waterfall holding hands. It was envigorating and great fun but very wet. It was very confusing driving on the left hand side of the road again especially as some of the cars were left hand drive. Heaven help us when we get back to Australia.

The next port was Grand Cayman, one of the Cayman Islands, again another British colonly. We went to see a turtle farm and the township of Hell. There is an area of really strange rock formations here, hence the name. They really are fossilised sea life but they all look like rocks. Most people were more interested in buying postcards and getting them postmarked from Hell.

The last port was Cozumel in Mexico. We took a bus trip to see the Mayan ruins and walk through the jungle. It was fascinating and something that Mum has always wanted to do. She was utterly exhausted but really enjoyed the trip. We met a couple of Australians from Brisbane on this tour who are working in Houston. I also met a hairdresser from Westlake and her sister went to school with Daniel.


The ship was 3 hours late docking because of fog and consequently the disembarking process was a nightmare but we managed to get through immigration without a hitch. Now it is time to plan our trip home via New York and California

The decorations are amazing here. Tonight we are going to see the "hippy lights" which are apparently a sight to see.
