July 28, 2021 Velvet Champine

Is there anything better than stretching out like a cat in a warm patch of Jamaican sun? Only if you sprinkle your island vacation with a dash of adventure. Known fondly as “the land of wood and water,” Jamaica’s forests feature prime hiking and bird watching. History buffs can the heritage sites of Trelawny, while reggae and dancehall fans will love the authentic music clubs of Kingston. Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, while the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stresses melt away.

I visited the Bob Marley Museum today anybody who visits Jamaica must see this museum It was Bob’s house in Kingston, his recording studio, where he played football, where he rehearsed, and where he hung out. It’s also where unidentified gunmen tried to assassinate him - you can still see the bullet holes. Our Tour guide was great very informative and friendly.

A very fitting tribute to a Jamaican who had so much yet to give. The Museum provided a deeper insight into the man and his music. Peter Tosh was a deep thinker and a freedom fighter who stood up for the oppressed African people around the world. He communicated his thoughts through his music and was well ahead of his time. Well worth visiting.
