All-Day Breakfast and Smurfs in Jamaica?
I know how us foreigners love our all-day breakfast joints such as Denny’s and IHOP back home. Well I found it in Jamaica! All-day breakfast with a little touch of yaad. Last week I went for another motorbike tour with my friend Shelley and his bike posse. As usual we rode from Hilltop all the…

Driving Through Mt Rosser, Jamaica
I’ve always said that if you can drive in Jamaica you can drive anywhere. But if you can drive a Mack truck through Mt Rosser in St Catherine, Jamaica you’re a special kind of brave! NUFF respect for the men behind those wheels. I’ve done the drive from Ocho Rios to Spanish Town many…

Way Back When in Black River, Jamaica
I bet you didn’t know…… The sleepy little town of Black River on Jamaica’s south coast has SO much to do with the island’s history. I sure didn’t know until I went on the most amazing walking tour of the town, led by local history buff and Black River resident, Allison Morris. I had…

St James, Jamaica
Moving clockwise from Hanover we now enter the parish of St James, Jamaica. Pretty much every single Jamaica tourist in the world has been to St James because they all land in Montego Bay. Although I’m not a big fan of the Montego Bay area I have made some awesome discoveries there, along with the…

Hanover, Jamaica
Continuing on in my parish project, one of my readers suggested I move clockwise from where I started with Westmoreland. That would take us to Hanover. This post will be short because I haven’t spent much time in Hanover but as I found out with Westmoreland, word travels and readers have much to add.

Westmoreland, Jamaica
I will start my new parish project with the parish of Westmoreland since it’s the first place in Jamaica that I experienced, and ultimately is the place where I fell in love with the island. My very first time in Jamaica – the trip I won – was to Negril. That was in 2003 and…
