Falmouth, Jamaica
I didn't see him cutting up the whole coconuts so customers can drink the juice.
As a tourist without carrying a heavy-duty knife, I would not know what to do with a whole coconut with the exocarp (outermost layer) and husk still attached.
The boards explain the history of Jamaica and the the town of Falmouth where our ship was docked.

To come back into the port area, you have to show an ID to prove you are either a passenger or a port worker.

This must be a colourful country.

Love the colors, what a fun series of photos.
Very interesting story with unforgettable illustrations. I like it!
When I was living in Barbados I use to love coconut water and even the jelly inside is pretty tasty. Thankfully the guy's I use to buy them from use to cut the top off with a machete and give me a straw, or sometimes I would buy a litre bottle full of just the juice. Oh boy that was the life, so much better than fizzy drinks and it is good for you.
Nice set of pictures...
i love coconut juice. it works great as a thirst quencher on those hot summer days. thanks for sharing your wonderful journey.
So interesting and colorful. Yeah even with the husk off I have a tough time getting into a coconut.
Oh lovely! I've never been to Jamaica before so I enjoyed seeing it through your eyes! I love coconut. I love chewing on the coconutty bits inside. I miss all the tropical fruits from South Africa - fruit is scandalously expensive in London.
