Kingston: brīvdienu mājokļu īre

On this experience you’ll learn the true story of how chocolate becomes the world’s favourite sweet, a bitter sweet tale of hard work, artisanship and how business can be a force for good. We start with our special welcome to Jamaica. We’re located on the edge of the Blue Mountains overlooking Kingston. We’ll look down across the city towards the harbour as I give a brief history of the island and the historical use of cacao. We then get to know each other before we make our inclusion bars. I’ll tell you about how I went from a BBC Correspondent to a chocolate maker before I explain how we go from the raw ingredients to the finished yummy product. I’ll show you how to hand temper chocolate, from our original development kitchen using a bowl, a table and a spatula. Before I walk you through creating your own custom made inclusion chocolate bars. We then go right into the farm, driving over a river bed, to have a closer look at the cacao estate. We’ll introduce you to the pods up close, we’ll look inside the fruit and I’ll explain how the beans are fermented on the farm and how the nibs are processed before we unveil your bespoke bars. This Experience is great for team-building. Book a private experience for your group. Is your group larger than my listed max group size for private groups? Send me a message. Other things to note Due to the fact I'll be using multiple cameras this will be best to watch on a PC so that you can maximise views and also see your fellow experiencers. Especially when we get into the tasting segment.

We will meet at Sovereign Centre in Kingston. You will have a chance to buy water or any snacks you may want to bring on the tour from the grocery store. We will stop in downtown Kingston for you to take a walk through and look around all the while experiencing Kingston like a local. From there we will take a local taxi to one of my favorite local's food spots in Bull Bay where you can get some great jerk or stew chicken then continue on to our final destination at Cane River Falls where we will hike in for you to enjoy a few hours of relaxing by the river. We will return to Sovereign via local taxi again and I can help you get a taxi from there to your final destination or place of accommodations. Other things to note You will have opportunities to buy snacks, water and food along the trip to the river be sure to carry cash as often shopping options do not take credit card along the way.

Our tour helps you to experience authentic daily life from a Jamaican point of view. Damion is your guide. He grew up in the ghetto and understands the local life, side streets and hidden gems. We meet at Historic Devon House (home of the first black millionaire) from there we take a Local authorized taxi. Our first stop is Liberty Hall where you will discover more about Marcus Garvey and why he is an important figure in shaping the country. Weaving through side streets we get a real feel for garrison (ghetto) life and then visit an inner city food co-op that is helping locals grow fresh produce and eat right. The Rastafarian "Ital is Vital" food philosophy is described and where many visitors choose to try the local fare. From here we take a local taxi, another great experience, to Trenchtown including the Cultural Yard. This is where Bob Marley lived and the birth place of Reggae Music. After you tour the site you can enjoy the Yard with local storytellers, who paint a picture of inner city life and the importance of music in the culture. An authentic experience you will never forget! Record studios can also be explored. Your guide will give you this option at the beginning of the tour.

You will enjoy a 2-hour recording studio experience. Where I’ll introduce you to all our team members first, whether you have always wanted to record yourself singing or just to live out your reggae star fantasy, this is your chance to get some real studio time. The experience comes complete with a sound engineer/producer, who talks through the recording process to make sure you get the most out of the session time. Singers or musicians alike, simply come along with a song or piece of music well-rehearsed and have the studio to yourself, as the engineer does the rest. Recording studio experiences make fantastic gift ideas for musically-inclined friends and family. Take home your best performance from the session on a CD or flash drive, to keep forever.
