Fruit cart in downtown Kingston
Still somewhat jetlagged I went to downtown Kingston to buy fresh fruit and vegetables (trying to support the small people and not just shop in supermarkets).
Dee negotiates on the lettuce
I went via uptown Kingston where I waited in long but organised lines to change my money into Jamaican dollars, and to buy a local sim card.
Street vendors in downtown Kingston
Downtown Kingston has more in common with Bamenda in Cameroon than it is probably aware of. Bustle, music and street vendors of all kinds. I wanted to take a picture of the one-legged man who weaved in and out of traffic on crutches hoping for donations to his cause, but it seemed inappropriate.
Jamaican bus
Got some great deals on naseberries, watermelons, calaloo, and plantains. Yum! Yum!
