We woke up at 9am, and started planning what we should do on this beautiful day. The sun was shining and the temperatur was about 30 degrees. Before breakfast we checked out som infomation about Kingston. Kingston is the capital of Jamaica, and it's the biggest city on the island with it's population of 600 000. Kingston is located on the Southeaster coast of Jamaica. The atmosphere is relaxed and it consist of two main parts; the historical district and New Kingston.

At 11am we leaved the hotel and took the bus to the devon house. The devon house is a 127 years old site and one of the most visited attractions in Jamaica. The house was founded by Jamaica first black millionaire and it's a beutiful place to relax and just enjoy the weather. There we bought some ice cream and just walked around watching the luxuary area.

We had a tight schedule, so we rushed to the Bob Marley Museum which was nearby and were going to close at 4pm. We arrived just in time for the last tour of the day. the tourguide showed us several artifacts of Bob Marley and gave us the basic facts we allready checked up at the hotel.
As we rushed on we went to Spanish town where a house was recently burned down by a fire worth 12 million dollars. What a tragedy.
Then we took the bus back to the city.
Throughout the bus trip we saw all the differences of rich and poor in Jamaica. We drove past several slums area in Kingston. It made a strong impression on all of us. Afterwards we went back to our Hotel to get some sleep after a long and hard day.
