NORMAN MANLEY INTL'
Kingston, Jamaica's capital, lies on the fertile plains of Liguanea (pronounced Lig-a-nee — an ancient Arawak Indian name) between the cays and banks of the eastern coast and the towering Blue Mountains. In this picturesque setting has grown a city of over half a million people: a bustling, sprawling city which is a place of deep and striking contrasts.
Kingston is not the sort of resort paradise to be found on the north coast but it offers a great deal more to the traveller who seeks to gain more than a sun tan from a holiday in Jamaica. Jamaica's first capital under the Spanish occupation was at Spanish Town, some ten miles inland, whereas the island's major centre of trade was at Port Royal at the edge of the harbour which is the seventh largest harbour in the world.
After a series of disasters at Port Royal in the 17th century, including the tragic earthquake of 1694 and a subsequent fire, traders began to settle on the mainland and established the original township of Kingston which grew enormously in importance as a port.
Today the original waterfront area along Harbour Street, once redolent with the aromas of colonial West Indian trade in rums and spices has been re-developed and shipping has moved out to Newport West, adjacent to the extensive Kingston Industrial Estate.
A great deal of Kingston is pure shanty town, but again one sees striking contrasts, especially in New Kingston, situated between the teeming downtown and mid town areas and the fading but still gracious suburbs of St. Andrew. New Kingston, is a business area which embodies the best of modern tropical town planning, graciously combining high rise buildings and well-groomed gardens with the soaring Blue Mountains as a backdrop.
The hillside suburb of Beverly Hills with its luxury homes gracing the cool slopes is well named. The Californian Los Angeles cannot boast more elaborate architecture than its Kingston namesake.

FRANK PAIS INTL'
This city, 760km/495 miles southeast of Havana, is busy and not particularly attractive. But if you pass through, look in on the main square for its Art-Deco theatre, art gallery, and eclectic display of historical exhibits inside the Museo Provincial. The fine Carlos de la Torre Natural History Museum, just south of the square on Calle Maceo, in another colonial mansion, has a large collection of indigenous snail shells in dazzling colours.
To the west of Holguin is a vantage point, Loma de la Cruz, which offers wonderful views over the city and across the province.

SAN SALVADOR INTL'
San Salvador Island, the exposed peak of a submerged mountain that reaches 15,000 feet to the ocean floor, is one of the easternmost islands of The Bahamas archipelago. It is 12 miles long, five miles wide and has a population of approximately 1,000 residents.
The island is home to many monuments, ruins, and shipwreck sites that directly reflect its rich history. It has miles of pristine and secluded beaches, and an emerald-blue sea of such sparkling clarity that divers have visibility of up to 150 feet. Sparkling lakes cover the interior of the island and many relics of Loyalist days can be found.
The pace of life here has changed little over the centuries and today San Salvador is the ultimate escape. Cockburn Town (pronounced Co-burn) is the main settlement and is home to a large white-washed Catholic Church and an interesting museum, filled with historical artifacts dating back to Indian days.
