9-mile tour from Negril: grueling or easy peasy?

[marley9808]

It is definitely a long full day, comparable at about 2.5-3 hour drive one way
The drive from Negril to Ochi area is not at all bad as the roads are quite nice and easy (much better than they used to be) but once you make the turn off to go up the mountain to Nine Mile it changes. The roads are very narrow, bumps, holes, winding around the mountain so if you get car sick this part can be a little rough and I would say takes proabably a good 30 minutes or so.

Now the question of whether it is worth it?
Yes! To me at least it was. If you are a fan of Bob then I would say it is worth it. Even more so back when Mother B was still alive as she would still spend time there at her house when she was in Jamaica and it wasn't at all uncommon to see her and even chat with her while there.
But the tour will include his childhood home, his room, and many things you hear about in many songs. Plus of course the Mausoleum where he is laid to rest.

Exactly the type of info I was looking for. Thank you!
