Here, he was born, here, he rests for the rest of his life, with his mother and half-brother. The Bob Marley Mausoleum is a place of pilgrimage for some, and a spot where you realize the importance of Bob for others.
We see not just gardens with coffee plants and fruit trees where vegetarian Bob Marley used to pick his fruits, but more interestingly, also a piece of land with all kinds of marihuana or ganja plants. The guide knows what he is talking about and can name all different plants, how they should be treated, how they grow, and which are the best according to him. Some of the plants were donated by growers around the world. According to the guide, this was a major source of ganja for the King of Reggae himself. We walk back to the Bob Marley centre, where another Rasta guide takes us around. We see the place where Bob Marley was born, the simple two-room cottage in which he lived as a child before moving to Trench Town in Kingston with his mother after his British father died - a move that brought him into touch with music and would ultimately lead to his musical career.
