From WT: "Got back from a western Caribbean cruise. Ocho Rio was our first stop. We booked a tour with Chef & Libby. Chef met us outside the gate at the pier. Took us around to see the real Jamaica. Chef took us anywhere we wanted to go because it was a private tour. We drove through the town near Ocho Rio, up & down the mountain, went to some beautiful beaches.

We saw the real Jamaica." more>
