Biography of bob marley jamaica house

Music lovers, island explorers and Rastafarian fans, take a pilgrimage to the childhood home and resting place of music legend Bob Marley, the Bob Marley Museum , in the tiny rural village of Nine Mile, Jamaica. Make the journey up the St. Ann Mountains along a partially paved road, through a series of steep hairpin curves. Once you arrive, the view is spectacular, with glimpses of the Caribbean far below.

Visitors enter the compound through a large wooden gate and head up a staircase leading directly to the gift shop. Treat yourself to authentic Jerk chicken at the restaurant and bar, where many light up in honor of the legend himself. Take in the modest, tin-roofed shanty where Robert Nesta Marley was born in Proving that big things can come from small beginnings; the house is nothing more than a sitting room and a tiny bedroom with an outdoor fire ring for cooking.

Two Marley mausoleums stand nearby. Icons in red, green and yellow reflect the national pride he almost singlehandedly instilled through his music during his lifetime. At the end of the tour, the Rastafarian guide sings his goodbyes, reggae style, with wishes for peace and love.
