Snorkelen bij het Negril-rif was ongelofelijk, maar verwacht verbranding zelfs op bewolkte dagen. Neem rifvriendelijke zonnebrand mee.
Translated from English ·
Het weer was onvoorspelbaar, het regende twee dagen achter elkaar en dat verpestte onze bootplannen. Toch de moeite waard voor het lokale eten en de sfeer.
Translated from English ·
Neem kleine briefjes mee, veel taxi's en eetkraampjes accepteren geen kaarten. Geldautomaten vragen kosten, dus pin één keer in de stad.
Translated from English ·
Sla de toeristische restaurants aan het strand over, loop twee blokken landinwaarts, lokale tentjes serveren dezelfde gerechten voor de helft van de prijs.
Translated from English ·
Ik hield van de bergen en de vriendelijke mensen, maar taxi's kunnen duur zijn en afdingen is vermoeiend. Ga bij voorkeur in het droge seizoen.
