Beautiful 3rd world Kingston beach
Fort Charles, all the land between me and the fort used to be underwater before the 1692 quake.
Giddy House, named by the local because it makes you giddy! The house used to store all the shells for the cannons that were installed in 1888 and was tipped at an angle in the 1907 quake
The view from inside to outside
The entrance to Victoria Battery. This also sank in the 1907 quake, the cannon it housed weight 22 tonnes and had a range of 3 miles
A side gate into Fort Charles
a plaque on the wall, you guessed it, above a bolt in the ground!
A map of Port Royal
A plaque dedicated to Horatio Nelson, it reads: " you who tread in his footsteps remember his glory" no such plaque for the Pirate Morgan!
The view from the Admirals tower where he could watch all sea traffic coming and going from the port. All the land outside the fort used to be underwater.
St Peters Church
a humbling experience
Buffalo, right hand, calling it!
What a fantastic experience!
