Transport
I enjoyed seeing the whole Bob Marley thing, but I hated being driven from the hotel to a shop to be pressured into buying goods and then rushed to the experience I had paid. We got that it all felt rushed we were on and out and instructed to not mess about and be back on the bus. We were only at the Bob Marley property for about 40mins. Then rushed to lunch and then back to the resort. I wish I had known that we would be visiting the shop before hand to ensure we had enough money with us..
Whether you're a fan of Bob Marley or just want to see the real Jamaica, this one's a must. There's a trip to the music legend's home and burial place and a delicious lunch at a jerk restaurant too.
You'll start with a scenic drive through St. Ann. Known as the ‘garden parish' it's a beautiful area of lush mountains and villages. Climbing up the slopes, you'll head for Nine Miles, the village where Marley was born in 1945. Here, you'll visit his old home, which is now a museum. Wander round viewing the memorabilia as your Rasta guide offers snippets about the reggae king's life before visiting the mausoleum where the musician is laid to rest.
After paying your respects, you'll end the afternoon with a tasty local lunch at Scotchies Jerk Centre – voted by Trip Advisor as one of the top things to do in Jamaica.
