JAMAICA PHOTO DIARY | QUEENBEADY

Dress ASOS

I wrote a while ago about how it’s okay to do absolutely nothing on holiday. At that point I was scrambling to make myself feel better for the fact I’d spent a week attached to a sunbed (rather than the bedroom because the room smelt hideous the whole time!) I was shivering in 30 degree heat and couldn’t be at least 5 m away from a functioning toilet (‘cos boy did I need to be!) All in all, I was not a happy bunny that I’d been resigned to staying at the hotel (& one that wasn’t particularly good at that!) and I so desperately wanted to get out and about. But fast forward nearly two years and we’ve just returned from a 7 night stay on the beautiful island of Jamaica and I will let you in on a little secret… We didn’t step foot out of the resort.

And, because of that I have a photo heavy Jamaica Photo Diary for you!

There’s a common theme within the younger generation that if you don’t get out and explore then what an earth are you travelling for if you don’t explore that big wide world. I have often been judgemental too. But by Christ, those 7 blissful nights and 8 beautiful days spent on the beach have been divine and my body is thanking me for it (okay, maybe not the plane flu I’m currently nursing.)

We spent a week drinking cocktails, reading plenty of books (and getting very lost in them!), paddle boarding, kayaking and eating ALL THE JERK CHICKEN!

Have you been anywhere where you’ve just completely switched off?
