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.

The highlight of our day was visiting 41 Fleet Street. Beautiful, inspirational, murals span several blocks, and a yard. This community artist project is uplifting, and shows a sense of pride, and progress for this neighborhood. I see this as must see destination in Kingston. It felt safe and welcoming.

We got a tour out here as it is about 45 mins to 1 hour journey from Kingston past the international airport. This was a fort built by the English to protect port royal harbour(the only one left of five). The local Jamaica heritage guide was born and brought up here so knows the fort from being a child and has many stories to tell . There is a small but well presented maritime museum in the courtyard which contains relics retrieved from the sea following the 17th century earthquake and tsunami that destroyed a large part of what was the pirate capital of the Caribbean. During the 18th century the port became the royal navy command for the west indies and Nelson spent 30 months here. The guide also takes you to the giddy house which was an artillery store which subsided during the 1907 earthquake and now sits at an angle. the guide also showed us how to pick ripe almonds from the trees that grew in the courtyard which were delicious. The guide also sells a guidebook to the maritime museum for about 1000j$ . The fort makes a good site for photographs/cannons, parapets etc. An excellent trip and worth the effort.
