From our anchorage in Oracabessa we sailed the short distance west to Ocho Rios, a major tourist center in Jamaica. Ocho Rios is the place where Glen’s parents had their happiest holiday, back in 1967. By record of his Mum’s diary, we visited their hotel and all the places they enjoyed during their 10 days holiday. Their hotel, The Shaw Park, still existed and even after 53 years it appeared to be surprisingly unchanged. The beautiful Dunn’s River Falls, with its amazing river cascading all the way to the sea, turned out to be the highlight of Jamaica for us. Glen sprinkled some of his parents ashes in all places that they had enjoyed. We also visited Fern Gully, Shaw Park gardens and the Runaway Caves near to Discovery Bay. 4-6 Mar 2020
