Day Four: Jamaica

When you think of Jamaica, you probably think of amazing beaches and resorts - but you'd be thinking of the north side of the island; the tourist part. We stayed in Kingston, the capital, and right in the middle. It was very industrial and run down. We were warned by the hotel staff not to walk the streets after dark. Needless to say, the only things I saw in Jamaica were from the bus ride between the hotel and airport. It was a very poor area, with numerous shanty neighbourhoods of houses made from corrugated metal sheets.
