Taxi Ride from Kingston to the Jamaican Countryside | Ep 1 - Driver Radio: Jamaica

Twin brothers Don and Ron Brodie travel to Jamaica to reconnect with their roots, with first stop the bustling city of Kingston. While all-night dancehall parties are a main attraction for tourists and locals alike to kick up rumpus, the Brodie brothers link up with a local taxi driver to get a feel for life far outside the city. They head to the more remote agricultural parish St. Elizabeth and the fish-rich beach town of Alligator Pond, where the temperatures are cooler and the fish are plenty.
