St. Martin. /St.Marteen

St. Martin /St.Marteen /St.Maartin what ever you like to pronounce this beautiful island that's you must visit, Most of the ship I was aboard always visit to this island but I never go out cause of from the ship I see only the shop around and its very hot. Until my previous contract I was thinking what is the good thing here? why so many ship visit to this island. Then I going out with a few friends to the beach and I find the answer. It was very nice we take a taxi from the prier to downtown just 5$ each. "Very nice" one word i can say. Then I just work around a downtown and take a photo a little bit then back to the ship by boat taxi 5$ If you take boat taxi round trip its only 7$ I recommend!!! 

 In addition to its unique cultural, ethnic, climatic and geographical characteristics, the island is one of the rare destinations where relaxation, exoticism and safety are combined. St. Martin is an overseas collectivity which is totally integrated into the French Republic. Like France, it benefits from a political stability which excludes risks of “putsch”. French laws are applicable on the island and sexual tourism is severely reprimanded. These days, it is very easy to put your own trip to Saint Martin together. There are also many exciting offers out there from travel agencies and professionals. You will also find that the people of Saint Martin – fiercely proud of their "Friendly Island", reputation – are very helpful. http://www.stmartinisland.org/

Montego Bay Jamaica 2014

Now, This contract I was in Montego Bay Jamaica again. Just walk around the prier and shooted some photos as you see and there also have a beautiful beach and a colorfuls down town ( I was in 2011 I can't find a photo) but you have to take a taxi. Notthing much to say take a look my photo. Yahman!!!! 

The name Montego Bay is believed to be derived from the Spanish name Manteca Bahia or Bay of Lard, so called because of the lard-making industry made possible by the hunting of wild boars which abounded in the surrounding hills.

Montego Bay is Jamaica's second city in size and importance, but it is the island's tourism capital and arguably one of the premier Caribbean resort destinations. The beautiful seaside city has long been the playground of the world's rich and famous. Easily accessible, Montego Bay boasts a first class international airport as well as modern port visited by many cruise lines.

The award winning Sangster International Airport is major hub for the Caribbean with direct and charter flights from over 60 major gateways and cities across North America, Europe and South America. The IAM Private Jet Centre is also located in Jamaica's second city complete with its own fast-track Immigration and Customs processing and even meeting rooms for on-the-go business travellers to Jamaica.

This Jamaican resort city boasts a wide selection of accommodation options including older well-established 5-star luxury resorts, newer all-inclusive hotels, intimate bed and breakfast inns and private villas. This is complemented by a wealth of transportation facilities and options, an unmatched array of amenities and attractions making Montego Bay a vibrant holiday centre.

Compared to Palm Beach, it is not exactly an elegant town. Ergo, don't compare it to anywhere. Enjoy its noisy, untidy, lively Caribbean charm and uniquely Jamaican experience. City streets are crowded, colourful and lively. Country folk flock in to visit markets, shops and banks. Guests from hotels and cruise ships make their way to in-bond shops and Crafts Markets. Housewives, office girls and market higglers promenade round bar-front discussion groups and sidewalk domino games.

Architecture is a mixture of last-century "gingerbread" wooden houses interspersed with modern buildings, many of which harmonize because Georgian facades never really went out of fashion.

Sam Sharpe Square, a pleasant cobble stoned hub of activity, is roughly the centre of the town where stands the Cage, formerly a jail for runaway slaves, and the ruins of the Courthouse, built in 1804 and destroyed by fire some 20 years ago. Follow the Heritage Trails to discover more about the rich and vibrant history of the Jamaican people.
On the western side of the harbour, Montego Freeport has been developed on what were once the mangrove swamps of the Bogue Islands. Here are the deep water piers which serve as cruise port of call and where freight is unloaded. Here too is the site of the Montego Bay Free Zone, which employs a great number of Montegonians in the manufacture of such things as T-shirts and sportswear, all for export. Jamaica Digiport International, a hi-tech telecommunications centre, is also at Montego Freeport.

Montego Bay was a sugar and banana town but the sugar factories have closed down and bananas are now shipped out from Kingston and Port Antonio so the picturesque sight of women carrying bananas on their heads and singing the Tallyman song while carrying out their back-breaking work, is a thing of the past.

Montego Bay's original claim to resort fame was the renowned white-sand Doctor's Cave Beach which attracted celebrities and socialites from all over the world. The beach is said to be fed by healing mineral springs and it certainly boasts the most uncommonly clear and sparkling water.

In recent years, other beach clubs have been developed in the area, each with its own special character. The Aquasol Beach Park is closest to town on Gloucester Avenue. Cornwall Beach is just a little beyond Doctor's Cave, Tropical Beach and Rose Hall Beach lie further out of town. (from : www.mobay.com)
