words: The fever of Leopard, the snow outside and distant memories of the trip
gives no respite from the cold outside, inside is too hot whereas Leopard has 39 of fever. Apparently jump on the weekend in Milan (usually lucky!) And I, complice il clima, la stanchezza, un certo senso di oppressione e malinconia avrei tanta tanta voglia di andar lontano.
E allora ripenso ai viaggi zingari fai da te dall'altra parte del mondo, a quella libertà di partire senza programmare troppo che ora non possiam permetterci. E allora fatemi sognare e ricordare. Oggi è la Jamaica (febbraio 2008), se questo mood malinconico prosegue vi beccherete forse altri ricordi fotografici.
Bè le spiagge e il mare non hanno bisogno di presentazioni, son davvero paradisiaci. La mia preferita era quella di Winnifred Beach, pubblica, semideserta e battuta quasi solo da locali.
The Jamaica that we have discovered (I say ours was a trip organized the car we have circumnavigated using local buses and taxis), I was pleasantly surprised: I was a bit 'to be prevented sincere, there are so many clichés that surround, and is usually the place of all-inclusive packages for excellence, he says it's a very dangerous place, but Kingston (the capital) aside, it is not. We never had any problems, indeed. And the locals (especially in areas less traveled) are polite, friendly, perhaps the first day you're having a controlled and Tentan to sell you something (but very much less to what happens in Asia or even in Cuba), but after they learn to recognize (Bastan few hours) prendon you under their wing, and it does not take much, I'm talking about tiny villages with few facilities and hotels zero. We have learned the national game, dominoes, which we have practiced with them in the evenings many housewives. We had a real lunch Ital offered by Highcliffe, a real rasta (rare specimens, to be honest, many are for the consumption of tourists, then you see them getting drunk like sponges - which is not covered by the Rasta philosophy, and even- their use of ganja has little to see with spirituality). We know much more about the culture of Rastafari and Bob Marley and family, obviously true local celebrities, but little heard beyond the holiday resorts. And of course we enjoyed a disruptive nature and breathtaking, from the sea to inland waterfalls, natural parks. But above all, we approached the soul of a country with a truly fascinating history and culture.
Pelican Bar, in the midst of the sea. It can be reached only by boat.
True Ital dining or kitchen rasta, nature and ipersalutare, as well as good!
Note: please do not smoke ganja!
Perhaps not everyone knows that smoking is prohibited, except on specific occasions, such as during the annual concert organized by the Marley family.
I would have so much to tell and I willingly lose the memories, but I do not think that is the case. But I remain at your disposal for tips and suggestions if anyone would ever have to go and venture into the real Jamaica with a trip to do it yourself.
