According to my sources, these two coconut trees came from one seed, therefore if you drink the water from a coconut from these trees, you will get pregnant with twins.

Buccament Bay Resort

Just taking in the view...

look like a giant

literally hiking through the bush to find the water falls, took a wrong turn here and there, but finally made it

nearly reach

pretty falls! either Kiss Me Falls or Hells Gate, not sure which ahah

water fall number 2..

natures cooler, no river trip is complete with out some Vincy Rum

Water fall number 1..

the water was so clear and cold

the rocks are cool. formed from the volcano

just relaxing. you can see the water rushing from the first fall, then the second, and in the middle of the pic, the third fall

nearly reach so we can start ah cook

ya know.

atlantic coast

well i didnt bring my bathing suit, but there is no way i can go to the beach and not swim. Sports bra and gym shorts will do (like a true vincy).

its advised not to swim any where along the atlantic coast since the waves are HUGE and the rip currents are really strong. Its always been my dream to swim at this beach. Finally, wasnt going to pass it up just because i didnt have a bathing suit!

Kinda weary, since all the horror stories of people drowning ive heard.

enjoying the waves!

the guys starting the pot.

apparently it takes alot of people to cook one pot.
