See Jamaica by Automobile (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from See Jamaica by Automobile In compiling this booklet describing the various trips in Jamaica, the arrangement has been made with reference to the length of the rides, commencing with the shorter ones from Kingston. On the tours, stopping places have been arranged only at points where good hotel accommodations can be obtained. Many visitors in arranging their cruises have only allowed for a few hours stay in Jamaica. To these and others who are unable to take more than one motor ride while in Kingston, we unhesitatingly recommend the trip to Castleton Gardens as the most scenic and typical half day tour from Kingston.
