Silver Sands Villas Guide To The Holywell Park In Jamaica
For many people, a visit to Jamaica is all about staying in a villa in an all-inclusive resort where the facilities are such that you could not ask for more. But venture out of the comfort of your Jamaica villa, and you will find that the island has lots to offer in terms of natural attractions. One such attraction is Holywell Park, one of Jamaica’s best kept secrets.
Holywell Park is actually a ‘park within a park’ in that it is located 3,500 ft above sea-level in the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park (BJCMNP) and is actually a gateway to it. Spread across a three hundred area, it enjoys a protected area status and draws the nature lovers from across the world who flock here to recuperate in its serene environs.
Holywell Park is a perfect getaway for those interested in eco-tourism adventure. It faced the wrath of the hurricane Gilbert and Ivan but was replanted extensively with pine trees and today it stands defiant as ever to offer a peaceful retreat to those who wish to experience nature’s healing touch. The park is bathed in tropical mist but on a clear day you can take in the spectacular views of Portmore, Kingston, and Port Royal.
It is a haven for the wildlife enthusiasts as it houses some of the world’s mot rare plants and animal species. Within its boundaries, you can see Giant Swallowtail Butterfly, the largest in the Western hemisphere and the Jamaican Boa the largest snakes in Jamaica. If you are lucky, you can also see a rare bamboo plant that flowers once in every 33 years. The park is also home to the famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
For those looking for adventure, the park will not disappoint. There are numerous hiking trails that give you the opportunity to witness the unique flora and fauna. One of the most interesting trails is the one that takes you past a magnficient waterfall and a river. In fact, the park is home to ten rivers. If you plan to go hiking, especially during the rainy season, be sure to check with the park ranger. Go for your hiking trip well prepared, wear your hiking boots and take your hiking gears along.

Bamboo Earrings – Get The Drop On Fashion In These Pretty Beauties.
For some reason when I think of bamboo, I think of torches. Now maybe that’s because the material is large in my mind. This favorite treat of the Panda bear closely brings images of Safari adventures as well as the Orient to mind. Come to think of it, I really never considered bamboo earrings as a possibility. Though, they are quite possible and extremely attractive.
Currently both natural fabrics and natural colors are hot. The perfect accessories to match up to your relaxed natural attire are bamboo earrings that bring the earthy colors together seamlessly. Earthy tones reveal a laid back style that is all the rage today amongst both the young and the old.
In general, the attractiveness of the earthy styles may reflect our common interest in the earth. We are continually becoming more and more conscious of significant issues like global warming, pollution and fossil fuels. The drive for a “green” collective unconscious may be a sign of the emerging popularity of bamboo earrings also. This jewelry captures the attitude of the earth-minded population.
Though you may not believe that there is a link between hybrid automobiles and bamboo earrings but there just may be. More than often we wear our hearts on our sleeves and our conscious on bodies. The bamboo earrings hold an earthy quality that they resemble their own element. In other words they look like bamboo.
There has been a constant drive for hybrid automobiles, which in turn reflects emerging interest in nature along with society’s emerging concern for keeping things natural. Bamboo earrings reflect our interest in keeping nature pure as they do not come out to be processed like gold or silver jewelry.
Additionally the natural material communicates a harkening back to using the pure elements in their novel state rather than distorting and processing the earth’s resources to our advantage. Though this may be quite a stretch, it does not make quite a bit of sense. We are beginning to pack away the glitter and we are starting to pull out the cotton. Accent jewelry like bamboo earrings blend much better with cotton than with glitter.
One will notice that these bamboo earrings maintain their original state. Though, they are covered with a protective glaze that gives them a look of sheen and they are shaped to suit quite a few tastes. Bamboo earrings aren’t always poker straight; they can be shaped into either hearts or hoops to match with the emerging rage in clothing.
This cool earthy attire can be found on TV through Old Navy advertisements that prides itself of having the latest in natural colors and designs. Of course, the perfect pair of bamboo earrings would pull the look together, naturally.
