FUN TRIP

We very much enjoyed our trip down the black river. We saw several crocodiles, and our boat captain actually called one over to the boat, (he came), and the captain leaned down and splashed a little water on him. (Kicking myself here, I can’t remember what the crocs name was). Anyway, we continued on down the river which was very unique and pretty, and saw several different bird species. The YS Falls were absolutely gorgeous! We took pictures and got into mineral pool. (Very relaxing). At the Appleton Estate, we had a tasty lunch, and toured the rum making process. Very interesting, and the grounds were beautiful too. Then we had a rum tasting with three different rums, five for the distinguishing tasters. And YES, I bought my favorite rum!, I would go again!
