Kingston, Jamaica

The city I visited was Kingston. There are a ton of cool places you can visit there.


The first place I went to was the Bob Marley Museum. The museum is the site of the legendary musicians home. It was him home until his death. Six years after Bob Marley's death his wife, Mrs. Rita Marley, turned it into a museum. The museum contains Marley's personal treasures, an eighty seat theatre, photo gallery, gift shop, and the Legend Cafe. The Bob Marley Museum is located on 56 Hope Road, Kingston Jamaica. I would suggest people to visit this place because the tour is and hour and fifteen minutes long and it's really interesting to see everything in there. Also the food in the Legend Cafe is really good! I had a lot of fun at this Museum and I think other people would too.


The second place I went to visit was the Mavis Bank Coffee Factory. In this Factory I saw how famous Blue Mountain coffee is harvested and processed. You get a factory tour, and you walk around just like one of employees. This Factory is located about a mile from Kingston's town square. I would encourage people to visit here because it's only five dollars per American person. They explained everything from coffee cherries to the storage of the factory. It was really fun and they have really good coffee.


The last place I visited was the Devon House. The Devon House is 127 years old. It was built by Jamaica's first black billionaire,George Stiebel. Devon Penn was a part of the 600 acres awarded to Zellers. This House gives a good shopping experience to everyone and anyone. This is also one of the most celebrated landmarks in Jamaica. The Devon House is located on Hope Road in Kingston. I thought this place was really interesting to tour. I would also recommend someone to visit here because every Monday and Tuesday they offer super awesome ice cream.
