Accompong Festival 1977 The People's Law
1977, we were young punks, staying with Ras I-stro in his home community. We knew nothing.
Riverside Cool Cottages
Come discover Jamaica and find something new about life. Why not come to the eastern end of Jamaica in the Parish of St. Thomas. We can stay at Riverside Cool Cottages and enjoy the farming town of Sunning Hill, or we can travel around beautiful Jamaica.
Some places to go are:
Ivanhoes' Guesthouse Port Antonio, Jamaica
This Port Antonio lodging is nestled upon historic Titchfield peninsula where you find the quaint and comfortable Ivanhoes' Guesthouse. Located in the northwest corner of Titchfield peninsula you pass thru the lush entrance into a cool, tiled foyer.
There you will be greeted by the owner, Mrs Burke or a member of her staff.
Great Huts Hostel Boston Bay, Jamaica
Great Huts in Boston Bay, Jamaica has a nice vibe. You can stay in a tree house or yurt. The yurt is a communal hostel and very affordable. Private accomadations run more but are totally unique and eccentric.
Great Huts was voted the author's choice by the Lonely Planet and Best Environment by the London Observer.
Making Bammy
There is a traditional cassava bread called bammy that is made and sold in communities. This tradition is being resurrected after almost dying out when wheat and white bread was introduced to the island. This threatened the livelihood of cassava farmers. You can read this story and attempts to support bammy's comeback.
Henry's Guesthouse
In the Long Road Community, you might consider going to Henry's Guesthouse (everyone calls it Mrs. Lange's) where two rooms are for rent with shared bathroom and kitchenette. It could be a great choice for those who might not be able to tolerate the stairs of Zion Country. It is located two doors down from Zion Country on a cliff above Manchioneal Bay, overlooking where manatee live.
Getting To Zion Country
Zion Country Eco Beach Cabins are located in Muirton Pen, Portland Parish, between Manchioneal and Long Road in the east of Jamaica.
Traveling from Kingston Norman Manley Airport to Zion Country:
Zion Country Walkways
Zion Country Eco Beach Cabins are located on a steep cliff descending from the community road to beautiful Manchioneal Bay, Jamaica. Perched upon this cliff are located the four guest cabins.
Bingo
In your Jamaica travel, you may want to play bingo! A Bingo game is a great way to pass the time and get to know people in the local community. However, if you want to play bingo at the comfort of your home, you can log on to online bingo websites and come in contact with other bingo players from different parts of the world.
Jamaican Cooking
Owen cooks the most wonderful meals, so last visit we asked if we could watch him cook and glean some hints from him. He most gratiously granted our request. This was one of the best cooking lesson vacations!
