Saint Ann's Bay (Day #3)

Saint Ann's Bay  (Day #3)

This morning we stood up at 7am because we was going to leave Kingston and take the bus up to the village Saint Ann's on the North side of the Island. The bus was leaving at half to eight so we had to hurry a bit. After a tasty Jamaican Porridge for breakfast, we was ready to check out and hop on our bus to Saint Ann's Bay.

Lovley Jamaican Porridge:


All of us was very sleepy durning the bustrip, but we had to keep our eyes open so we didn't miss beautiful jamaican landscape. After nearly 2 hours on the Bus we arrived Saint Ann's Bay. An idyllic small village just by the coast. The sun was shining over the crystal clear occean. We walked down to the beach where our luxurious hotel was placed. After we have finished the check at the hotel, we went surfing on the sea. It was a lot of fun, but really hard as well for beginners as us. After surfing we found a resturant nearby to get us a better meal. All of us order the traditional Jamaican spice "Jerk Chiken".

As we enjoyd our chinked we started to discuss how funny the jamaican accent is, but non of us did really know why they speak english here. Many places got spanish names, so we was pretty sure that they spoke spanish here on the island earlier. So we checked up some the history of the jamaican language immediately, and this is what we found out: In 1494 Colombus discovered Jamaica, and 16 years later the first spanjols settled down in Jamaica. This influenced the Jamaican language, but in the middle of the 17th century Jamaica was under British rule, and since then English has been the official language here.
23 pm we all went tired to bed, with even more impressions of Jamaica
