Fuerteventura - The Undiscovered Gem Of The Canary Islands
Fuerteventura ? blessed with over 150 beaches - is one of the least spoiled and the least discovered of the Canary Islands. With a dramatic volcanic landscape, little rainfall and all year round warm temperatures, the desert landscape is unique and large areas of the island are protected parks. Visit Fuerteventura and you are stepping back to the way Spain was perhaps 30 years ago ? no high rise buildings and a relaxed and gentle way of life, clean streets and beaches. Unlike its more touristic and built-up neighbours of Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura is a place to come to relax, unwind and step back in time. No dusk-to-dawn open air discos, no Club 18-30 ? The island, the closest of the Canaries to Africa, has an embarrassment of beaches ? some are in deserted coves and little fishing villages, others down little dirt tracks - but the most popular ones can be reached from the main roads.
Not that main roads resemble those found in mainland Spain or the UK....

Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica
One of the ports of call for our Royal Caribbean cruiseship was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Probably the most famous site in the region is Dunn's River Falls and we chose to tour it on our own rather than through one of the cruiseship tours. Once we disembarked from the cruiseship, there were cabs and shuttlebuses available at the pier. Cabs to Dunn's River Falls were $22 US for a return trip. Cabs allowed 1-3 people per vehicle.
We were also told at the pier that small shuttlebuses also go to the Falls at $5.50 US per person. These were also based on return trips. The only problem with shuttlebuses was that we had to wait until they filled up the shuttle before leaving for the Falls so since we were the first on the bus, we had to wait about 15 minutes for it to fill up. The driver then asks you when you want to be picked up at the Falls for the return trip. Our driver suggested 2 hours to see the Falls so we agreed on this time duration.Once at the Falls, a woman then came onboard the...
