Jamaica is a total shithole. Seriously. It's not even a step above Tijuana.....it's more like the raised part of the sidewalk on the edge that catches your toe and makes you bust out your front teeth when you fall.
We did some cool stuff, but everything and everywhere you go, you need to check the legitimacy of it because not everywhere is safe.
After the death defying car rental in Kingston from what I can only describe as Kingston's king pen....we were off in our obviously stolen car racing for the beach. Which coincidentally there isn't really too much of. The beach that there is, is gated and private. Everything else is a wall built that the ocean smacks against, so you see HUGE waves, but impossible to surf because of the jagged rock underneath.
The 'how to stay safe in Jamaica' tour book in our condo told us where to go and what to do. So we did. It included.... going to see where Bob Marley grew up and is buried.
Climb the falls. (This was fun until the trucker broke his toe.)
Ride horses in the ocean water. My poor horse saw this as his opportunity to make a break for Cuba.
Donkey dress up. Note that is nothing like the Tijuana donkey show.
Thought about some canoeing but like the horse, the trucker and I would have pushed on till Cuba.
And of course drink lots and lots of rum in hope of killing any parasites that might have snuck their way in.
