How I got to Jamaica

[VVHT]

and then......

So off we go from Mandeville. We're driving along and Nicky say "we a come to Spur Tree Hill".

OK we start down a fairly steep hill and I'm thinking what's the big deal. I'm sitting on the left side since he's driving and all I see is a tree line,

We break out into the clear and I'm looking down from 2,200 feet to the land below. Freak out. This is not today's roads, this is a two lane potholed, no guardrail road going down one steep hill after the other connected by tight switch backs so we can traverse the "cliff"

At each section there are signs that say "check your breaks" with run off areas at the switch backs. That immediately boosts my confidence immensely (BTW...going up the hill behind a big truck at 10mph for what seems to be an eternity is the other option)

We finally get to the bottom and pass into what I now know is St. Elizabeth parish.....Nicky says "you in the wild west now mahn"
