St. Thomas Ice House experience

Anyone been to this? It is supposed to be somewhere downtown. It is a
structure made entirely of ice.

Shore excursions

In Ocho Rios go rafting on the Martha Brea river.

It is a leisurely 1-1/2 hour ride on a bamboo raft with a raft captain as
your guide.

We loved it.
