World Cup Cricket has finally come to the Caribbean. At last
international cricket fans get to mix pleasure with
pleasure: a trip to the Caribbean, the vacation Mecca, to
enjoy what is one of the largest events in the world second
to the Olympics, and in close contention with World Cup
football.
The first stop is Jamaica, the home of legends like
Courtney Walsh etc. The grand opening ceremony is set to
take place at the Greenfield stadium in Falmouth the
north-western end of the island. While you're there be sure
to visit the highly praised and frequently photographed
Dunns River Falls, the scene of countless Hollywood movies
including the very first James Bond film, "Dr. No.".
As an islander myself, I can tell you that this is one of
my favorite spots in Jamaica ? the adventure of climbing
the spectacular falls, the thrill of jumping off the river
rocks into the natural pools that form steps all the way to
the top is a magnet that pulls me back again and again.
This lovely
Jamaica vacation spot is a must see.
Other Caribbean countries in the line up of venues are
? Antigua,
? St. Kitts and Nevis
? St Lucia
? Trinidad and Tobago
? Grenada
? Guyana
? St Vincent and the Grenadines
Cricket in the Caribbean is not complete without the
historical Kensington Oval. A vacation in the Caribbean is
not complete without a stop in Barbados. While in beautiful
Barbados Harrison's cave with its gorgeous stalactites,
bubbling streams, thundering waterfalls, tumbling cascades
and deep pools is a top attraction you should see. Either
before or after the finals between England and Australia or
any of the other world class teams, any one of which could
very well steal the coveted cup.
If you are making plans for your 2007 vacation then World
cup cricket is an exciting choice. Hop from island to
exotic island and enjoy the beauty of each, as well as one
of the biggest events on earth at the same time.
