jamaica was originally inhabited by the arawak indians, columbus landed, claimed it for spain, enslaved the indians, most were killed, big surprise
later england took control from the spainish
jamaica was a stopping point in the atlantic slave route, so as the indians before them, they were the new slaves
a few things to clear up, any place along the beach is a tourist trap, total hustling and garbage, to many americans and uk'ers trying to get their drink on, little respect
the hills are pretty safe, the people are cool, but the taxi drivers are not always so cool, keep that in mind
also that "other jamaican" in the tomb below nesta is his brother, he was shot in miami i believe and laid to rest there
out of respect your not allowed to take pictures, i've been many times, if your into reggae and rastafari its a very spiritual place
next time skip the cruise, go straight to jamaica, stay in the hills, its the true jamaica
cheers
one love
