After spending a few days at the Grand Lido resort in Ocho Rios recently, I drove from Jamaica's north coast down to the capital city of Kingston.

The route I took was called Fern Gully, a narrow road that twisted up, up, ever upward through a forest of dense, emerald foliage. Distracted by this organic splendor, people were driving crazily, honking their horns as they swung wide around blind curves.
