visit to Kingston

I travelled to Kingston (by bus & bicycle carried on bus) for New Years. The whole trip was awesome including the bus ride along the south coast which was really scenic. I stayed downtown near Coronation Market and walked to the fireworks on the waterfront.

To get to Kingston from Negril, the Knutsford Express bus is comfortable and inexpensive. Not sure exactly where it picks up in Negril (I got on at Sav) but you can look it up. Go online to check schedules and reserve a ticket. I can recommend an Airbnb downtown for the intrepid traveller who wants to stay right in the downtown chaos.

If I can figure out how to post videos I will post some videos from my trip including the scenic bus ride, downtown Kingston (Coronation Market area) shot from my bicycle, and the fireworks and party by the waterfront. Looks like I have to first upload them somewhere else then post a link. I only had 1 phone stolen doing this :( - snatched out of my hand by a thief on motorcycle (this is apparently a common thing in Kingston so be careful).The videos I will post were taken from my remaining phone after that happened.

Peace and love,

Richard

Sorry to hear about your phone Richard, not sure if it’s just me but I get file not found when I try to view the links:(

Rtitle,

YouTube links work fine. Vimeo seems to have changed their interface....

[QUOTE= I get file not found when I try to view the links:([/QUOTE]
same here

OK I will try YouTube instead and re-post links after I put my videos there. The links work for me but it may depend on having a vimeo account.

Youtube will work....

Haven't yet put the videos on YouTube but here is a photo of me on bike in Kingston.

See the real Jamaica! And it costs almost nothing!

Step 1: Get high as f***
Step 2: Get on a bus
Step 3: Put on your favorite music
Step 4: Sit back and enjoy the ride and scenery.

I put another video on youtube. Kingston downtown, Coronation Market. I was on my bicycle shooting this on my iPhone.

Check out where I start following 2 pretty girls at around 1:20. I also like the lady shouting "chicken burger! beef burger!". It ended when I wandered into an enclosed area that was too dark and crowded to film.
