KINGSTON air jordan 5 retro wine , Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Floods caused by heavy rains since Friday night have overflown a main road in Jamaica and trapped people in their vehicles.
The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) said the downpours have resulted in the collapse of a bridge in central area of the island and caused serious floods in some parts of the country.
The Bog walk Gorge, part of a main road that connects the south and north coast of Jamaica, was blocked by flood water overflowing from the river along the roadway, which has trapped "numerous" vehicles, local media reported.
Local authorities on Saturday evening suggested that motorists take alternative routes to travel across the island.
Jamaica Defense Force, Jamaica Constabulary Force and the Jamaica Fire Brigade were sent to rescue those trapped in their vehicles and 17 people have been transferred to safe places since Saturday afternoon.
This round of rainfalls in Jamaica was caused by a stationary front that is currently moving across the island, according to the National Meteorological Service.
The agency asked residents to get prepared for further rains as a trough will linger on around the central Caribbean over the next two days even though the frontal system weakens.
Berne is perhaps the most popular city in the country and also its capital. Its Old Town is a protected heritage site by UNESCO and both its parts (western and eastern) are very beautiful. One can visit the Cathedral of St. Vincent (The M锟絥ster) from the 15th century. There you can see an outstanding tympanum over the main door, which depicts the Last Judgment and has more than 200 figures. Also interesting is the Bundeshaus 锟?the Federal Palace in Renaissance style. A landmark of the town is Zytgloggeturm (Clock Tower), dating back to the 12th century. Four minutes before every hour, lost of mechanical puppets make a great show for the crowd around the clock. Other places worth visiting are Kunstmuseum (Fine Arts Museum), Botanischer Garten (Botanical Garden), Nydegg Castle, Kindlifresserbrunnen (Ogre Fountain) and more.
Zurich is also a very popular place in Switzerland 锟?the largest city and the capital of the Zurich canton. Its Old Town is very beautiful, located on the banks of the Limmat River with lots of medieval buildings and narrow streets. If you like nature you can go to the Zoologischer Garten (Zoological Garden) and the Botanischer Garten (Zurich Botanic Garden). The Botanical Garden contains more than 15 000 living plants and its herbarium has the amazing 3 million plants. One should not miss the beautiful Grossm锟絥ster Cathedral 锟?some parts of it dating from the 11th century. Its 3 storey towers also offer some gorgeous views of the city. Schloss Kyburg is also a recommended place 锟?the biggest castle in the eastern part of the country. It now houses a museum with art and armor from the Middle Ages. You can also visit the Urania Observatory, Landesmuseum (Swiss National Museum), Uetliberg and many more.
Geneve yet another important centre in Switzerland, located in its south-western part. The city is near Lake Geneva, between the Alps and the Jura Mountains. Palais des Nations houses the headquarters of the United Nations and is the second largest building in Europe. It is open for visit and there are guided tours available. Just across the entrance you will find another interesting place 锟?the Mus锟絜 International de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge (International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum). There you will experience the history of the Red Cross from its founding in 1863 till present times. Maison Tavel is the oldest house in Geneva (14th century) and is now open as a museum. From Mont Sal锟絭e and Mont Blanc one can enjoy some amazing views of Geneve and its surroundings.
Last but not least, Basle is another city from the Euro 2008. The settlement is very old and is still the most important cultural centre of Switzerland. It is located on the Rhine River, surrounded by the Jura Mountains. In Basel there are numerous galleries and museums, but you can go to Kunstmuseum (Fine Arts Museum), Museum f锟絩 Gegenwartskunst (Museum for Contemporary Art), Foundation Beyeler (a gallery of modern art), Historisches Museum Barf锟絪serplatz and Kunsthalle (also a gallery). Spalentor (Spalen Gate) is a gate from the 15th century which marks the end of the medieval part of the city. M锟絥ster (Basel Cathedral) is also very popular, built in the 11th century. It offers some beautiful views of the Rhine River, Germany and Pfalz (the palace).
This is where my list of nice places to visit in Switzerland ends. Of course, there are numerous other interesting sites in the country 锟?one could say that every corner of Switzerland is beautiful. I do hope I was helpful to those who would like to see more than the football games.
