Stewart Castle – Trelawny, Jamaica

Stewart Castle in the parish of Trelawny, Jamaica was a totally random find for me. I’ve driven the north coast highway many times and have noticed the sign for Stewart Castle a few times, mostly because it’s the last name of someone I know well in Jamaica. Every time we drive by I say “look, it’s your castle”. The other day I was driving by the sign alone and had zero on...

Rodney Memorial Buildings – Spanish Town, Jamaica

In all my trips to Jamaica and even to Spanish Town I’ve never once gone through the town center and stopped at the old burnt out government buildings. I’ve only ever passed through there and I even remember about 6 years ago the person who drove me through said if we stopped I’d get shot LOL. Now that I know more about Jamaica I know that’s all crap. This area in the center of...

Port Royal Tour

This is a follow-up to my first Port Royal post about GIDDY HOUSE at Fort Charles. This post highlights the rest of my tour around Port Royal, a town that totally intrigued me even though I was only there a couple hours and you can walk around the whole place in no time. I want to go back! As the sign says, Port Royal used to be known as “The Wickedest City on Earth” because this is where...

Prospect Plantation Great House

This is the first post of a sequence of posts I’ll do on Prospect Plantation in St Ann, Jamaica. I have to split it up because there’s just SO much to say about the entire plantation! It’s spectacular and boasts so much history. So first, I’ll write about the plantation great house which was built in the 1800′s and is set high up in the hills overlooking the Caribbean...

Flat Bridge – Jamaica

I’m posting about Flat Bridge because I’ve gone over it a few times and have since done a little Googling about it. It has an interesting history which dates back to slavery in Jamaica. In fact no one really knows exactly what year it was built but dates into the 1700′s. It connects Kingston to Ocho Rios through Fern Gully, and runs over the Bog Walk gorge. Its a beautiful drive in and...

Nine Mile – Home of Bob Marley

In September I went to visit the town of Nine Mile, in the parish of St Ann Jamaica. Nine Mile is better known as the home of Bob Marley. Its where he was born and grown and is now a famous tourist attraction long after he’s gone. Being in Nine Mile was like being in Marley-ville….everything here is Bob Marley! There is so much to see and experience here, unfortunately the day we went it...
