Virtual Jamaica: Lover's Leap and The Lighthouse

 

The view from Lover's Leap...

Looking down, I have to admit I have been in love several times in my life...and I am sure this is a level of commitment I do not (nor have ever) possessed.

Love story or tourist attraction tale?


 A bronze statue nearby depicts the slave couple...destine to be separated...as the story goes...they decide to plunge off the steep cliff to the sea and rocks below to their deaths.

Whether real or made for tourism...a small industry has formed around the story...including photography at the point...a restaurant...and the lighthouse, standing over 100 feet tall.


 

 

and inside the restaurant...

Just a short trek today and I'm heading back to Jake's to poke through a few more of the endless shops before the storm comes!

Until next time...
