Ultimate Jerk Centre and Rest Stop - Discovery bay

Ultimate Jerk Centre and Rest Stop - Discovery bay
Travelling between Kingston and Montego Bay can be very tedious. Most times we want to get there as quickly and yes as safe as possible. With all the road works that have taken place since Highway 2000, driving on the Jamaican country roads have definitely improved and it now takes less time. But how many of us take the time to really enjoy our country?
The other day I had the pleasure of driving from Montego Bay via St. Ann to Kingston. Along the way we stopped at the Ultimate Jerk Centre and Rest Stop. I must confess that I usually like to stop at Scotchies but nature called and being a ‘Kingston girl’ the bushes did not appeal to me. So it was by necessity that we stopped at the Ultimate Jerk Centre and Rest stop. I was pleasantly surprised.
It is situated directly across from the Green Grotto Caves in Discovery Bay. The facility is clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. The food tasted good and was reasonably priced. There is a full cricket field to the back and there was even a local cricket game going on the Sunday afternoon. My husband being the cricket fan that he is and being as starved as he is for some good cricket insisted that we watched for a while. The ambiance was great and I was so relaxed that he got no complains from me.
All in all the drive home turned out to be quite enjoyable. After leaving the Ultimate Jerk Centre we drove through Steer Town and over the hills. We even stopped for cane along the roadside and got into Kingston in great time.
So the next time you take a drive into the country side give yourself time to really enjoy Jamaica. Leave out in good time and treat yourself.
Nuff love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
