A former British colony, the island of Jamaica was one of the islands of the Caribbean that was discovered by Christopher Columbus himself, though in 1494. The island eventually gained complete independence in 1962. The island lies south of Cuba and west of Haiti, and with a surface area of 10,990 sq km is about 10% and 35% the size of its neighbours respectively. With a population of just 2.9 million people, it is 139th most populous country, while its capital city, Kingston, has just 104,000 citizens, making it one of the smallest official capitals in the world.
Left Jamaica in 1960. Been back several times. Never had a bad visit with relatives, friends or hotels. Went to the World Cup Cricket with a few friends. Had a blast. Would like to sell my 2.5 acre property in Manchester so I can return to live on the north coast.
