It always seems impossible until it’s done.

At the Bob Marley Museum the guide showed a lot of passion in sharing everything about Bob Marley’s history. She was talking and singing Bob Marley songs simultaneously. It was very fascinating to listen to her. Every time I visit somewhere related to Bob Marley e.g. a clothing shop, the mural, the songs, the shop selling w**d, the restaurant and more, I realise how influential Bob Marley is recognised worldwide.
