Day Five: Field Study Trip by Hanna Wisniewska (Torun, Poland) and Koome Kirimi (Isiolo Town, Kenya)

Jamaican crocodiles:

We woke up bright and early on day 5 of Footstep 11 and headed for Bob Marley Mausoluem at Nine Miles, Saint Ann. The winding roads not withstanding we made it to the top of Mt. Zion where we got a tour of Bob Marley's birthplace. Fuzzy our tour guide was extremely hillarious. We got to touch Bob's tomb and observed half a minute silence.

We then went on to visit the Black River to watch crocodiles and their habitat. We took a boat ride in a medium-sized engine boat. We got to see approximately 8 crocodiles and some participants were even able to pet the crocodiles because Jamaican crocodiles are not dangerous if treated with caution.

Our day's events took us to Lovers' Leap where were able to capture a magnificent view of The Caribbean Sea. Lovers' Leap was named after a slave couple that jumped to their death from a cliff. On our way back, one of the buses had a tyre burst and we had to stop for the tyre to be replaced. The entire day went very well!

PS. It was very interesting and amazing to learn how the Black River got its name (from the peat at the bottom).

Leaving the college at 7.45am
