Our first port was Falmouth Jamaica.  From the ship, it looked fantastic, but what we saw was all built specifically for the cruise ships.

We took an excursion to “Good Hope Estate.” This was a 18th century sugar cane plantation. Seldom are cruise excursions worth their cost, but this was one that really was.  This plantation was built up on the top of a mountain, and the views were stunning.

There was a small pond on the plantation, and when we walked around it, I saw this water lily.
