Just as we say au revoir to the Christmas and New Year festivities, there is Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival on the horizon. Another great reason to be in Jamaica! The Greenfield Stadium in the north coast parish of Trelawny is the venue this year, and for a whole week, January 24 - 30, 2010.
Why not include a little Kingston visit at the front and back ends of the Festival? And at Neita's Nest, of course! While here on the front end, just unwind from your trip and from the working world before heading cross country to Trelawny. Ask about our spa treatments Listen to some choice jazz from Hartley's personal collection. On the back end, yes, unwind again. You will need it.
Delicious home cooked meals on the scenic verandah or patio and spa treatments al fresco in the Tree House, or your room, await. Take a city tour, check out the Bob Marley Museum and now legendary Legend Cafe, shop at Devon House, hang out at Molasses @ Bin 26, the new wine bar there. The beach is not too far, and neither is Castleton Botanical Gardens. http://www.moa.gov.jm/gardens/castleton.php
Closer home there is Cannon Ball Cafe in Manor Park with its cannons, sentry-like and silent, reminiscent of the histories we share. Even closer home, stroll through the neighbourhood and visit the canNons in private gardens, once the site of the Bridgemount Redoubt. When you come we will tell you more about the history of these cannons and of the British Fortifications of Jamaica in the latter 18th century.
If you wish to go to the Festival for just one night, a return trip on the Knutsford Express is just what you need, and we will get you on it. But, book early!
