You guys have a few interesting stories here !!!well I have one to.Jan 1st 1978 my ex and I after staying in Porty for a few days ,were on our way back to where we lived in Linstead.Instead of going straight there we left (with hang overs)at about 7:00AM and deceided to go on a "backish" road just to see something different.We turned inland at Hope Bay and went about 4-5 miles over "almost logging " roads driving between 1st and 2nd gear in our VW bug.It was getting really bad with no place to turn and out of frustation I ripper 'er back into 2nd gear and the gear shifter BROKE OFF !!!!! flush with the floor.Nobody has ever yelled bumba this and bumba that and "f" bombs louder than I yelled at that moment.My ex just burst out laughing so what else could I do.Of course,roll one up,that always help's....ya right !!! After that it was "what's next?" no sense walking back so I walked ahead ,around a corner not more than 200 yards ahead and BEHOLD !!!!!!!!! there was a guy WORKING !!!!!! on a truck using a welding torch !!!! right in the middle of the road. He came back,I welded it up, all done from start to finish maybe 15 minutes including the walking.I gave him a very nice tip and we drank some beer and we continued on our way and no more problems and ended up having a very scenic,altho rustic drive.Oh yes,the night before we saw Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Trident Hotel in Porty...BONUS !!!
Back in the day the east end of jamaica was where it all was happening.Stuff like this certainly is more fun than sitting in a bar watching all the beach bums and rastatudes perform.
