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.
Before entering the cottage, we are asked to take off our shoes. The walls of the small bedroom are covered with messages to Bob Marley from fans around the world. The guide allows us to lie on the bed for a snapshot, before we move on to the small courtyard where the rock pillow is, inevitably painted in red-yellow-green. Used for inspiration, the rock pillow is also mentioned in his song Talkin Blues. We see the tomb of his mother, who recently died, and half-brother. Then, it is time to visit the place where the King of Reggae is resting. Photography is not allowed inside. A peaceful place, a strange mix of sensations: physically, he is dead, but then his grave somehow vibrates life. Our guide greets and salutes him. Bob Marley rests in a tomb 6 feet above the ground, his body embalmed. Someone who bought ganja for himself, decides to leave it behind for Bob to smoke. We walk around his tomb, and it is amazing how the Reggae master still inspires respect and breaths charisma from his coffin.
