A glimpse of Jamaica beyond the resort

Published on Sep, 2023

Our family was visiting Ocho Rios on vaction, and I wanted my part-Jamaican sons to see at least a bit of the country beyond the resort. Being teenagers, I could only convince one of them to come, but he and I had a very enriching experience. Karen put a lot of thought into tailoring this tour to the ages and interests of our party. We toured the Tuff Gong studio (recording home to Bob Marley, and many other nationally and internationally famous artists), and had the best patties I've ever tasted at Devon House. I particularly like the goat curry patty. (The Devon House ice cream was very good and very generous, if not quite as mind-blowing as I'd heard--maybe if we'd had something besides plain chocolate...) We checked out some beautiful murals downtown, and visited the Trench Town tenement where Bob Marley first started writing music--that felt big. I came away wanting to learn more about Bob Marley, other Jamaican artists, and the rasta movement, since I feel like I will better appreciate the great significance of some of the things we saw. Coming all the way from Ocho Rios (about a 1.5-hour drive) was actually a bonus for us, since we got to see the beautiful interior of the country, and to chat with our charming driver Hewitt. And just driving around looking at Kingston was interesting too. That could depend on your comfort level--most of it isn't pretty, exactly (though the forested hills are always in the background), and some parts are obviously very poor, but I found it fascinating to take it all in.

Great trip

The guide was friendly and on time. He fulfilled all of our wishes and stopped for shopping, because we asked. It was a great trip, thanks
