I had to make a business trip to Jamaica. Although I never expected to fly to Jamaica, it was a pleasure being able to get to know this nice island and its warm people.

One of the things I like about Jamaica is the beautiful scenery. I will begin with Ocho Rios.
Ocho Rios is a port of call for cruise ships. The name is in Spanish and it means eight rivers. Ocho Rios is a town in the parish of Saint Ann on the north coast of Jamaica. It was once a fishing village, but now it is an area full of luxurious resorts and with a lot of tourists.

As I was lying lazy on the couch, enjoying the nice view from my balcony, I thought about staying at the resort. But hey, once you are in a foreign country why not explore around right? So we decided to leave the resort to see what Ocho Rios had to offer.

The ride through Ocho Rios was a pleasant one. The curved road is surrounded by big green trees. It feels like you are driving by green walls. This trip provides for a lot of oxygen for the lungs.

As if the ride through nature was not relaxing enough, our destination provided for a further stress lowering element as we came to the beautiful beaches.

 While we were at the water, we saw some interesting cloud formation above the sea.
