Blue Mountains, a coffee with a view, Jamaica

Today's post goes out with a special dedicatory to Marcela and take us on a climb all the way up to the top of the Blue Mountains in the beautiful Jamaica. Either starting from Buff Bay, Port Antonio or from Ocho Rios the roads to the capital Kingston are a must visit in the island. The views from the mountains are amazing and it would be a pity not to appreciate them. With some luck one might even get to see some of the higher peaks hiding behind the clouds.


I know that there are literally hundreds of hotels, resorts and other places to stay in a Jamaica Holidays and that's exactly why I say that since the road on the North crosses the whole island end to end, the starting point isn't that important on this trip. One can traverse the Blue Mountains towards Kingston on the East side and then go back home by the West side.


As for this two photos, the one above is a view of the mountains taken from the Kingston area of Seven Mile (not too far from Bob Marley's house) and the one bellow (my personal favorite) shows the Blue Mountains when seen from the Norman Manley Highway, the highway that connects the capital to the former pirate's town of Port Royal.


Finally let me tell you that while up in the mountains it's absolutely mandatory to make two stops. One of course to enjoy the scenario and the views and a second one to taste a cup of a true Blue Mountain's coffee. It's said to be one of the best in the world and you can count me on those who say so, it's fantastic!

As usual one final thanks to Open Galleries for the Blue Mountains photos and Marcela, I hope you like it ;)
