Jamaica (Honeymoon)

As promised pictures from our trip to Jamaica. We  visited the Famous Sandals resort in Ochos Rios, Jamaica.


Jamaica
As we entered our room we were presented with a lovely gesture! Two swans kissing, with their head creating a shape of a heart

Jamaica
Breakfast at the resort was amazing! I had all this everyday! YUM!

Jamaica
After breakfast we set our to explore the resort which was massive so many things to do!

Jamaica
Ahhh lovely....I feeling the Caribbean spirit now, the sound of Reggae music playing in the background

Jamaica
We found a artificial waterfall! Facebook Picture :P (Me & my Wife)

Jamaica

Jamaica
They even stocked the bar in our room with my favorite drinks! Appleton Rum, and Brandy!

Jamaica
As for my wife she stuck to the cocktails! Tequila Sunrise

Jamaica
We checked out the coral....This is us on the glass bottom boat heading out to sea

Jamaica
*In heaven* - I miss Jamaica *sniff sniff*

Jamaica
Me pretending I can play Basketball - I missed the shot -_-

Jamaica
Some darts......I hit one of the guest of the hotel walking pass, Im so lousy la -_-

Jamaica
So in the end I decided to try something less dangerous....coool!

Jamaica
This is one of many spots around the resort where you can relax, see the bed in the background ;-)

Jamaica
Fishes! Looks like one of those Foot spa's in Asia, if I knew they existed when I took this picture I would of been tempted to put my feet in! lol!

Jamaica
I don't know what I ate the night before but I got this nasty skin rash only of my hands, weird! It took a few months for this to go away!

Jamaica
Dining at one of the 8 restaurants at the resort, nice presentation!

Jamaica

Jamaica
This is us at the top of the famous Blue Mountain, weird they grow the most famous and expensive coffee in the world. Blue Mountain coffee!

We hired backs and rode them all the way down the mountain! Amazing expereince I recommend you do this tour, they even show you the local herbs ,*COUGH COUGH Weed!*

We didn't travel much outside the resort as it was our honeymoon and we was totally drained after the wedding!

Local Currency in Jamaica is US Dollars, they also have Jamaican dollars but they prefer US dollars as it has more value...

The local people are friendly and full of energy! Other tours we did was, the visit to Dunns River Falls, no picture as we wasn't allowed to take our cameras as they would get wet as we had to climb the waterfalls! But here's a picture I found on google

Dunns River Falls

And a video..

My attempt at blogging

Hey I'm Amit, and I am a UK born Asian living in London.

I work for Disney, where I am a web developer for their website.

Wow how interesting you say! Yeah I know sorry I suck! :p

This blog is going to be mainly about documenting my travels and technology, although I will most probably throw random entries in here too :)

I was inspired to start up this blog because of two popular bloggers in Malaysia.


Both bloggers are very popular in Asia and indeed around the world! I read their blogs on the daily basis. They get to do cool stuff and attend events and travel alot! They are both very inspirational bloggers and I thank them for inspiring me to start my own blog and follow in their foot steps.

Blogging is popular in Asia and blogging can take you very far on that side of the world. I wish that blogging had this sort of impact over here as much as it does in Malaysia and other countries in the region!

Although I most likely wont have any reader coming to the blog, I see it as a way to document my travels around the world and have some way of looking back at all the things I have done.

Traveling is something I am really keen on, I have so far traveled to the following countries

USA, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, India, Thailand and Jamaica.

I will have to blog about my previous trips to catch up! Although I don't have many pictures from some of my trips!

As for future trips, I have a trip booked at the end of October to visit some more places in Asia. I don't know what it is, but when ever I go to that side of the world, I feel the sense of Home, somewhere I belong, somewhere I feel more comfortable. There something that all Asian countries have in common, it's probably their culture, something that I adore so much in my culture from where my parents come from, India..

I will be visiting the following places this October with my lovely wife...

Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur

If you live near or in any of these cities please do contact me, as I intend to make friends along the way in my travels.

Well Thats enough ramblings for now...

Pictures from my past trips coming soon!
