Legend
Spend the morning looking into flights. Service in the West Indies works on West Indian time which is slightly faster than a complete stop – but only just. So didn’t really get anywhere but have found out what some of my options might be. So much depends on the game tomorrow. Wish I could say I was more confident. I know the Kiwi team have an amazing game of cricket in them, we just need them to pull it out tomorrow against the Sri Lankans.
Went to the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston. Partly because there is not much else to do in Kingston but mostly because I love his music and wanted to find our more about him. The museum was awesome and included his triple platinum award for Legend that has sold over twenty million copies worldwide. The funniest part by far was a clip on the tour video from his 1979 Babylon by Bus Tour that included scenes of Kiwis at Western Springs (in Auckland) stoned off their lids. Totally unexpected and completely hilarious.
After that looked around town for a Kiwi flag. I even walked through a couple of areas after being explicitly told that they were to dangerous for tourist. Even ‘big’ tourists. My confidence was bolstered by the fact that school had just been let out and there were loads of kids around to form a circle and scream “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” if anything kicked off. Despite my amazing bravery I didn’t find a flag. Plan ‘B’ is to run through the reception of the hotel that the Kiwi team is staying in and rip one off the ceiling and then to make for the back door at top speed. Will do a proper cost benefit analysis on this one over a few beers.
