Jamaica - Kingstown - Port Antonio

20 days in Jamaica. Kingstown and Port Antonio.
The statue of Bob Marley in the eponymic museum. It is a place were one can enjoy the cult around Bob. It reminded it me a good old fashion soviet museum.


Irene in the tilting house of Port Royal. Destroyed by an earthquake, Port Royal was once the richest city in the world. Some parts of the city are now under 10 meters of water.
Jack Rackam was gibeted at the entrance of the port. Anne Bonny and Mary Read are among the famous pirates of the area who escaped hanging because they were pregnant.
Later Admiral Nelson ('Britania's God of War') spent a few months in Port Royal at the beginning of his career, he was bored because of the lack of action.
More recently Jack Sparrow Captain of the Black Pearl was almost hanged there... sic
