Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Kingston, Kingston Parish
Far from the north coast resort towns, Kingston is Jamaica at its most authentic, a sprawling city of contrasts spread between the east coast and the Blue Mountains. Kingston's diversity is reflected in its disparate neighborhoods, from the wealthy northern suburbs to the less affluent downtown. Travelers can discover the spirit of One Love at the Bob Marley Museum, or sample delicious ice cream at Devon House. Nearby, the former capital of Spanish Town offers insight into the area's history.

You find yourself locked in a room (in Jamaica) along with your friends. You have one hour to escape.Think you can do it? Think again...These games are very challenging and will require every ounce of creativity you possess. The goal is not to scare you, but to make you work together with your teammates, learn to communicate and solve problems under pressure in a fun and exciting way. The results

This was my first time doing something like this but I had a great time getting through it. It is relatively cheap, and though you may think an hour is a long time, under an adrenaline rush and a ticking clock. It's great for linking up with a group of friends and if you want to do something new. Darren, the Gamesmaster, was a gracious host and good company. Kudos to the management! Excellent idea!

I had a lovely interesting time visiting the gallery accompanied by a very knowledgable local lady who was familiar with several of the artists and their work. As a tourist it was my first visit and i was also impressed by the settings and displays of so many lovely works of art.

I visited the Bob Marley Museum today anybody who visits Jamaica must see this museum It was Bob’s house in Kingston, his recording studio, where he played football, where he rehearsed, and where he hung out. It’s also where unidentified gunmen tried to assassinate him - you can still see the bullet holes. Our Tour guide was great very informative and friendly.

We used Club Kingston for arrival and departure and although it made little difference on arrival it was nice to be met and quickly escorted through. Unfortunately our luggage took an age to arrive so it slowed down what otherwise would have been a 20 minute service from plane to car park. The departure was a must as the shops in the small terminal are limited and we were delayed. The complimentary food and drink (including alcoholic drinks and cocktails) was nice and the staff were helpful, even escorting us to the departure gate.

Excellent service, as expected. Prompt departure from Kingston. Smooth ride to Ocho Rios. Prompt and professional to the end. HOWEVER, something needs to be done re boarding in Kingston. Standing under an extremely hot and narrow awning in the heat was rather uncomfortable. Fortunately the air condition on the bus was quite welcomed!
