Sligoville Detour – St. Catherine

I drove through Sligoville today, not by choice but because Jamaica still has not found a way to construct a decent bridge across the Bog-walk gorge. The adventure began with two officers, motorbikes parked in the middle of the road.

“you have to go left, road close”
“OK, where does left take me?”
“Sligoville, it’s the detour”
“OK, are there signs along the way?”
“where do you live?”
“New Kingston”
“where are you going?”
“New Kingston”
“Where do you live”
“New Kingston”
“Oh OK, well when you reach the top of the hill, left takes you down to Red hills and Right takes you to Spanish Town”
“Thank you, officer”

He could have warned me, that it’s the second top not the first one that I need to make the right turn, or we could just build a couple of signs and stuck them along the route, Yeah Jamaicans don’t read but they didn’t have to say anything, just arrows that point.

The road was bad (worst than normal) the drive was long…very long, but between the beginning and the end, the vista more than make up for the negatives.
I stopped at a quarry and took these pictures to share.
