Solitude

Jamaica

I've just come back from Montego Bay Jamaica and I loved every single second of it.

The people are so nice and friendly. They want nothing more than to get to know you-where you're from, your name-everything they want to get to know. One of the gentlemen on my resort gave me a boat tour and he asked everything about me. What I wanted to do with my life, how old I was, where I was from and if I had a boyfriend. I laughed and I answered all of his questions honestly.

The beach of course was my favourite feature. We swam every single day, multiple times a day and I snorkelled too. I got to see an eel, with its fangs and it's dark body slithering on the ocean floor. I got to see many different fish in all different sizes and colours swim around me like I was apart of their environment. I saw baby jellyfish, bobbing at the bottom of the floor, waiting to grow up and be like the others.

The entertainment was different every night. We had a steel drum band one night, a dance group, a few singers as well as a Michael Jackson Tribute group-who was absolutely fantastic-and of course the stereotypical tourist shows.

The food was to die for, I don't think I had anything that I didn't like. I drank out of a coconut and the juice tasted really good, I tried oxtail for the first time, I ate at the Italian twice because it was that good.

I got to do nothing but relax. I got to sit on the beach and look out onto the ocean everyday for a week. I got to eat three times a day and fall in and out of love with the cute boys at the resorts.

I'm definitely going back. I want nothing more than to surround myself with the people again, the beach and the sand.
