    Happy you enjoyed my homeland! Nice to learn about an excursion we haven't yet done... Good Hope Estate! With the jerk chicken, that's festival, not cornbread. In Jamaica, we say rice and peas. It's cooked and tastes differently than Spanish rice and beans. Yes, as we say, Jamaica nice! 🖤💚💛

    Good hope is one of my favourite local places to take people who are visiting. It was an old sugar plantation so if you are interested in history the great house tour is good.
    I also love to take visitors to YS falls and the black river safari but have no idea how people would get there from a cruise ship

    Cornbread - correctly described as “festival” by the Jamaican viewers …….this is the Jamaican version of “Hushpuppies” which has long been on the menu of Long Jong Silver’s, the fast food seafood chain. The taste is virtually indistinguishable, unless you’re a gourmet/food expert.
