The hotel Perfection! We woke up late, we meandered around the place, had good conversation and got ready for Y.S Falls. We were very excited as this was to be the highlight of our trip.

The Drive The drive was hilarious. First of all we got lost getting out of black river. After that it was smooth sailing for food in Middle Quarters, where we got shrimp fritters and shrimp soup. Note ladies and gentlemen this is very important, follow the sign dem. Do not be like us and follow Google maps, your as like ours will get lost. As we ended up behind God back, taking the long scenic route to Y.S Falls. Should you choose to do what we did for the scenery and drive do not follow Google maps add you will end up in a bush. Y.S Falls is easy to find once you follow the signs.

Y.S Falls It’s a $1000 on entry for locals and $17US for foreigners. Y.S. Falls is a great location but was a disappointment. First the river was muddy and high due to the rains the previous day. We therefore could not fully enjoy the falls. The greater disappointment however, was the inability to do the canopy due to the card machine being down. Instead we enjoyed the pool which was 4ft/1.3m, very kid friendly. It is stony buy it gives your feet an excellent massage. It is easy to get in and out. After that we were introduced to our guide Ian. Who took us on a tour of the falls and showed us how to rope jump into the river. All in all it was a good day.

The Drive We took the actual way down from the falls, which was 2 mins vs an hour. We decided to visit Laverne who had mother hened us for this entire trip. Up till now we are still unsure of where we went but it is near to Junction St. Elizabeth. It was surely of the beaten path in a one bush with no roads but it had a scenic ending. We didn’t awhile talking to Laverne, her daughter and local friend. It was a really nice view of the valley and Wigan wind farm. After leaving there we took a pleasant drive through Junction and took the south road to Black River.
