From Peter to the Black River
I meet a german guy at Rebel Salute who recomended Belmont (the birth place of Peter Tosh) to me.
Having the same timetable we decided to travel together for our last couple days on Jamaica...
our guesthouse run be a Ras called Bigger
Belmont is a very tiny, laid back village near Bluefields on the South Coast.
Very nice people there, you nearly know everyone on the street in 2days :)
lovely Peter Tosh Mausoleum down the steet
Noni fruit in the garden...
...and the most famous jamaican herb
the mausoleum is run be Peter Toshs Cousin
Being the most revolutionary member of The Wailers, Peter Toshs death seems to be linked to other political motivated incidents in music buisness (John Lennon assassin, shooting at Bob Marley shortly before a political concert, Buju Bantons actual trial)
The story of his mysterious dead is captured in the movie Stepping Razor - RedX.
When I asked his cousin, if the murder could be political motivated, he replied "could be!"...
R.I.P. Peter
Street Store
Akis for Jamaicas National dish "Aki & Saltfish"
We decided to spent the rest of the day on the famous Black River where you should be able to see some impressive reptiles
instead of taking the big tourist boats we asked a local fisherman to carry us
baby croco trapped in the exhaust gases of a tourist boat
huge one
the inofficial tour ends in a tiny village with a little bar
Sista Lou serves drinks and crabs
local boy with local toy
our captain recomended a little swim because crocodiles shouldn't reach to that point :)
leaving
our captain
back in black river town
fishing market
good restaurant!
Black River really reminded me on Belize City
