Day 5 of the Caribbean Cruise, Saturday 30th November 2024 Port Royal, Jamaica.

We docked and walked down to find a taxi. Above is Victoria peer, the 7th biggest natural harbour in the world. Jamaicas motto is 'Out of many one people'.
Owen Clark was our guide. In Jamaica there seems to be strict rules over who can drive you to places and they are conscious of tourists.
He was very knowledgeable and gave us much information on Jamaica. Drove us to Kingston to see the Bob Marley museum, wow.
We passed the best ice cream shop in the world situated in the largest house of Kingston, Devon House, that has been turned into shops.

Owen took us to various monuments.


The Bob Marley tour was fantastic. 1.5hrs covered everything about his life. We sang every song and our guide explained so much about Bob Marley's life and death. The anecdote goes that he died as a result of an injection that the CIA placed in his shoe that gave him toe cancer. Due to his religious beliefs, he was unable to have his foot amputated and ultimately died because of cancer that moved up his body. The CIA was trying to get rid of him as an icon that supposedly supported Cuba and Castro which apparently was also not true. He only supported the people and their needs.
