Holywell Park Jamaica
National park
ππ It's a very beautiful place, went camping up there. Very picturesque. Mosquitos will take a chunk out of you no matter how cold though. Would definitely visit again. Minor waterfall trail not marked so you may pass it like it did. Literally a less than 2 min walk on the right after the bridge.

Skyline Lookout
Tourist attraction
ππ One of the best spots to get an excellent skyline view of Kingston. There is seating available and places to park. The roads leading to the location is deplorable in parts but it's still less than 15 minutes drive from Papine and the view is worth it.

Shaare Shalom Synagogue
Reform synagogue
ππ I have not been to this temple, but I will be visiting Jamaica after 36 years and I would love to visit this spiritual and historical place. What a testimony to victory over adversity and the ability of the Jewish people to take their light and hope where ever they go. Hopefully with a new rabb...

Catherine's Peak
Landmark
ππ The hike is quite steep especially near the end. It took about 4 hours return from Mr Bubbles shop and back. But it's totally worth the view if it's a clear day. We could see all of Kingston and the waters of the east coast. You do have to go through the Army Barracks and they'll take down your name...

Craighton Estate Blue Mountain Coffee Tour
Tourist attraction
ππ Friendly and knowledgeable host. The house and views were pretty and full of history. The hike up the mountain for views and to see the plantation was not too hard and some steps were loose or slippery. The coffee sample was nice. The drive up was an adventure as we followed Google and it took u...

Holy Trinity Cathedral
Catholic cathedral
π Having gone to St. George's College we were encouraged (or rather made) to go to mass at this church. Structurally this was a excellent structure and always seemed so big. It had an organ at the back and somehow seemed a bit dark and had an 'old smell'. All in the all it was a good experience for me...

Look Out
Tourist attraction
ππ Beautiful quiet place to sit in your vehicle and have a drink. Itβs calming to look at the lights and figure out what building and area is where. Iβve been here a few times. Canβt help but to stop whenever Iβm passing and take a moment to release the tensions of the mind and βlook outβ.

Uptown Mondays
Tourist attraction
ππ It gets no better than Uptown Mondays. To attend it is a privilege because you're witnessing Dancehall culture in the making. As a Jamaican, this party made me proud. It's safe, the DJs are talented, and the dancers are artists! They bring Jamaica to the world!

Pretty Close 1876
Tourist attraction
ππ An absolute must when you go to Kingston. The scenery and vibes are immaculate. The hosts are hospitable and treat you like family. The hike is not for the week, youβre literally hiking through rocks and waterfalls so you have to be physically fit but itβs well worth it. They also give you some sip...

Blue Mountain Whirlpool
Tourist attraction
π Nice place to visit. It was once free but now due to the growth in popularity itβs now $1000 per person. The water is deep. Ensure you wear repellent because the mosquitoes will eat you up.

Kaya Herb House
Cannabis store
π Stepped in here yesterday to chill and the vibes were right! They sell "medical" weed and pizza! Its a nice place to hangout for a few hours, but they do charge 15 USD for a membership just to enter the weed shop, as if it was something special and something that you can't find all around Jamaica...

Hope Zoo Preservation Foundation

ππ Great opportunity to teach your child(ren) about the various animals while spending quality time. The Avian offering was great and children love it. Also a good opportunity to get some sun and steps in as this was a great walk around.
The child play area is also great for kids. Overall, a great fa...
