HOW TO BE THE PERFECT COLUNTOURIST
Whether you have three days or three months of vacation time, Jamaica Adventure Secrets allows you to experience the island’s rich cultural and topographical bounty, walk the road less travelled and even give back to the communities and the people. You can volunteer at a children’s school or home, as well as visit Charles Town to learn about one of the oldest communities of the Maroons (Jamaica’s fi rst free slaves), or trek the world-famous Blue Mountains. As their tagline goes, come experience a “different Jamaica”. US resident, Bill Ferguson, Chaplain of the Landmark School, Pride’s Crossing, MA, who participated in the programme, said, “If you want to experience Jamaica, its culture and its people, this is it!” It’s the perfect way to get your karmic groove on and see the true Jamaica.

 LINDA GAMBRILL’ S THE PERFECT TEN
SKYWRITINGS’ FOUNDING EDITOR KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT ENJOYING LIFE’S PLEASURES. HERE ARE HER PICKS FOR SAVOURING THE SIMPLE JOYS.
- The perfect fruit—a little black mango, washed
in the sea, peeled with your teeth, and sucked
clean in you mouth.
- The perfect cup of coffee—a cup of Blue Mountain,
enjoyed at Strawberry Hill on the verandah.
- The perfect moment—an afternoon downpour after a huge Sunday
lunch, at San San in Port Antonio.
- The perfect view—standing on the lawn at Firefl y, looking east
down the coast, just like Henry Morgan did.
- The perfect drink—coconut water fresh from a coconut sold by a
vendor on his donkey cart and chopped open right there. After the
water having the water, scoop out the soft jelly with a “spoon” cut
from the nut
- The perfect fl ower—The scent of the night-blooming jasmine
wafting through the bedroom window on a moonlit night.
- The perfect soup—pepperpot made with callaloo, garden egg,
shrimp, pigs tail, yellow yam, spinners, sweet pepper, scallion,
Scotch Bonnet pepper, thyme, kale and coco.
- The perfect drive—harrowing but enchanted one—the drive up to
Newcastle Hills, around past Hollywell, and towards Buff Bay. The
beauty of the old man’s beard wrapped around the power lines; the
mist settling among the mountains; the moss and the tree ferns;
the gigantic bamboo grass swaying in the breeze.
- The perfect picnic spot—Hollywell Park, take a sweater and good
walking shoes.
- The perfect sunset—looking west from Calabash Bay, St. Elizabeth.
