Fit to Enjoy an Active Holiday
Comments Off
I went to Jamaica with my boyfriend and two other couples, friends from our suburb whom we meet almost every weekend. Andre, my boyfriend, is a tennis buff, and he met Stephan and Larissa at the club where he plays tennis. Tisha and Eric were members of our gym. Biologists who loved to roam around in the wild, they made our treks and hiking trips memorable with their expertise.. Since all of us are fitness enthusiasts, we selected a resort on Montego Bay which had a well equipped health club and was close to the beaches.
When we were in Montego Bay, we met a couple of interesting guys at the Aquasol Theme Park, where we sent the whole day having fun with them in and out of the water on the beaches. Over the next few days, they introduced us to the wonders of the marine world in the Caribbean, giving us a guided tour of the diving sites near beaches in Montego Bay. We were able to rent snorkeling equipment from our hotel and explore the sites close to the coast. Tisha and Eric had to be dragged back to the hotel for lunch and dinner, so reluctant were they to leave the underwater world that fascinated them. As for me, swimming with the dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon is an experience I will remember as long as I live.
Jamaica’s Seven Mile Beach in Negril and the beaches of Ochos Rios were beautiful too, but we found Mo Bay more to our liking. None of us was keen on nude sunbathing, so Negril’s nude beaches or topless beaches did not interest us. In Ochos Rios, river rafting down White river was an exhilarating experience. Thanks to our fitness routine, we did not find the bicycle tour of the Blue Mountains as tiring as the others in our group claimed it to be.
