No stay in Jamaica is complete without a tour to the Blue Mountains. 

‘Hey Man, you must be sick in the head if you don’t like where I am taking you!’ our driver told us.  Indeed he was right; the spectacular views across the Mountain and to Kingston were dazzling.

He was a careful and happy driver perhaps his constant Ganja smoking helped. We did wonder how the smoke was affecting us?  It would appear that everyone grows it here and  offer it freely.

So proud of his bush                            ‘Do you want a taste, man?’

Coffee beans from fresh to roasted

 Good but we prefer Cuban Coffee.

Rafting on the Rio Grande, just behind Port Antiono,  was started by Errol Flynn to entertain his house guests.

The banana cargo on rafts have been replaced by tourists.  The 2 ½ hrs trip back to the sea  was a delight.

The descent leisurely

Fit for 50 yrs                                                 Romantic........

It takes 6 hrs to walk the rafts back

The river bank activities entertaining
