Peter Tosh Memorial

In the small city of Belmont just before Bluefield, pretty hidden easy to miss off the main street. Had an enjoyable mystical experience as we stepped from the car, I was never a Peter Tosh fan but the place is worth a visit. People are very friendly and knowledge even a very talkative neighbor came over for a chat.

March 24th 2019: all the above was over 6 months ago. Today I took a friend from England it was a totally different and unpleasant experience, this time the same guide appeared wearing the same shorts and tee shirt but with visibly large soils, he half heartedly started showing us around pointing out that I've been there before and that he didn't need to repeat (that was 7 months prior and this was the first visit for my friend ) he asked my friend to leave a donation on the way out, she explained that I already informed her she then took JA $500 from her purse, as I headed to the car she stepped into the museum to hand him cash, I walked back to see what was keeping her so long, to my shock she was in the corner with a JA $100 in hand saying " I don't have any more money I already gave you $500" this man ripped the $100 from her hand and turned to me asking for US$10. This was a scary moment with no one else around, we quickly ran to the car to get away telling him I would NEVER bring any more of my guests. Today I would give a minus zero...

It was interesting to have visited the burial place of the Reggae Icon, Peter Tosh. I didn't get an official tour of the place since when I entered there was nobody present, but instead I looked around at my leisure.

However, I think normally you have to pay to either enter or for the tour.

The land is actually Peter's family land... I think his mother was buried there as well. I must say, the mausoleum is quite colorful...

Belmond is a very nice place and the memorial is definitely worth to visit. its a special good feeling to stand just next the great peter tosh. you need to pay a small donation of 1000 jamaican dollars, but they deserve the money, because they take care to the memorial, the garden and the visitors and when you're lucky, you will find peters cousin there and have a quick chat or...
