Trenchtown Rock-Jamaica, July, 2008



After the jungle, the four of us decided that we needed a little R & R before going any further in our travels, so we headed to Jamica for three weeks. The first stop was Kingston for our Bob Marley fix. We visited his home (now a museum), his recording studio, and Trenchtown where his spent much of his early recording life. We then headed to the Blue Mountains above Kingston where we stayed at the first of three of Chris Blackwell's (started Island Records and brought Bob Marley to an international audience) boutique hotels, Strawberry Hill. The infinity pool was well used. From there we headed to Port Antonio where one of the top 5 beaches in the world is located, Frenchman's Cove.

We then headed to Montego Bay where we stayed at a resort called Round Hill. Carl spent one night at Reggae Sumfest leaving at midnight for the festival and arriving home at 6:45 the next morning. The highlights were Lil Wayne and watching the sun come up to John Holt.

We also got a little waterskiing in.
