I'll try an keep this brief since the last one was a word fest.

Day 2- We run away and go to Falls, then drive to Negril, passing through Montego Bay. Get offered every drug under the sun by the dealer from each hotel (they all have one). Alan gets told he'll end up in a ditch if he isnt loyal to theirs.
Day 3- Delicious Jamaican food at a local restaurant, great day on the golden white sands of 7 mile beach, drinks and smokes at the apartment. Then fastest sobering up ever as we watch a local motorcyclist die in a collision with a lorry. We do all we can but his body is twisted so severely we cant give him CPR ..... We try to put it out our minds and go out for Alans birthday. We manage to have a great time at a reggae jam at a club.
Day 4- Breakfast of Ackee, Callaloo, wheat bread, coconut, pineapple, plantains, passion fruit an more amazing food at a wee restauran. Cliff jumping at Rick's Cafe in Negril, snorkelling and cave exploration. We find out David is a wave magnet and have a nervy but rush of a time. Then we drive back down South east ish to kingston. We get what was honestly the most mental driving I have ever experienced as we get a lift off the car rental guy from the airport to our hostel. he manages the trip, which on the map looked shouldve been a half hour drive through kingston, in 17 minutes and that includes our 5 mins stop at a cash point. He spent most of his time driving on the wrong side of the road. Brown pants. Quiet night playin pool with red stripe.
Day 5- after breakfast we get in a taxi to take us to the bob marley museum. 6 of us and our bags rammed into a small estate car (hakan in the boot) a policeman approaches and the driver gets out with what looked like his papers. then when the policeman turns away for a sec, our driver walks the other way and doesnt come back and we are left sitting in the car. After a couple of minutes we get out and leave the scene since we dont know what the fuck is goin on. Anyhow, we get another taxi an go to the Bob Marley museum at his house(not the one in trench town but the one he bought in 75 i think, when he had become famous and more wealthy).......
There was lots of other things that happened but those were the main events.







First day we got up and went to Dunnes River Falls. You start off at the beach and then walk up the rocks, back into the forest. Theres about 200 yards of plunge pools and falls. There were local guide guys takin up groups, and they went up the rocks in big chains, but we are men so we went up ourselves and didnt hold hands.
