Cozumel

Both B. and I left a piece of our hearts in Cozumel. It is such a lovely island.

It was very hot on our visit. We had taken a shore excursion which took us to a rebuild mayan village, to an old church an to the most beautiful beaches. Unfortunately, we only stopped at the beaches for a few minutes so that we could´nt cool down in the sea.

Afterwards, B. and I took a cab to downtown Cozumel where we browsed the shops and had lunch at the Thirsty Cougar. It was such a nice spot to sit down, eat, drink and watch the people.

Jamaica

The second island we visited with the Oasis of the Seas was Jamaica. After a small security check on land we were in an enclose shopping area were you could shop, eat, drink or just browse the shops.

Here we had booked a shore excursion taking us to the Good Hope Great House were we were shown the house, learned a bit about his history and had lunch.

Unfortunatly, I forgot a lot what we were told.  What stayed on my mind is that the Good Hope Estate was a sugar plantation and that the owner had build the house for his wife. Unfortunately, his wife died very young and was buried beneath the ground floor. Sad story.

The lunch they offered was fine. It was a bit from everything what the jamaican kitchen had to offer.

First stop: Labadee

Our first stop was Labadee, Haiti.

Labadee is a private beach on the north coast of the island.

We didn´t book any tour with Royal Caribbeans shore excursion but decided to have a look around the island on our own.

It turned out, the place we stayed wasn´t that big and was an enclosed resort. A lot of haitiens have small shops were they sell some of their craft.

We took a walk around the resort, did some snorkeling and spend some time on the beach.
