Oh lord, what a night what a night. Jamaica Jamaica. We landed in Kingston around 12 o clock yesterday, mid day... exhausted we tried to find a place to buy tickets to Cuba... but it turned out to be harder than we had thought. So after talking it through we decided to take the bus to Montego Bay, on the other side of JA. Some guy helped us to the Knutsford Express office and we bought our tickets, happily oblivious to what was coming.

At five o clock the buss took off. The trip was going to be about 3 hours and a half. At 12 o clock midnight we were still on the bus. Stuck in a traffic jam somewhere in the middle of the island of Jamaica for an unknown amount of hours, Maja finally fell asleep. Julia sat one row behind her and had a pretty little song sung in her ear by the guy sitting behind her - Moses - God's gift to us this night of horror.

He was chocked to hear that we didnt have a hotel booked, or didn't know anyone in Montego Bay. Its a dangerous place - according to him worse than Kingston by night. "A lot of robbery, and a lot of murders".

Now this isnt exactly what you want to hear when you are stuck in a bus in the middle of the djungle and in the middle of the night. Scared as she was, Julia woke Maja. Neither one of us wanted the bustrip to end. The unwillingness to sit in an old musty bumpy bus was exchanged by a feeling of "this is the safest places in the world". We wished that the busride would continue until dawn.

But as said, God's gift. As the bus reached a dark Montego Bay, Moses helped us to a safe hotel nearby. And here we are. Newly showered and ready to meet the world - Jamaica - Montego Bay - once again!

For worried parents: We have gotten in touch with Suzan (the mother of Maja's friend) and she will be picking us up at the hotel this afternoon to bring us to her farm on the countryside. Jamaica here we come!

( Our first morning in Jamaica, after a freaky night on the bus. Exhausted. )

Inception.

- Take a leap of faith.

Filmkväll med familjen, vi såg Inception. Jag har sett den en gång förut men måste säga att den var värd att ses igen. Nu var det visserligen ett tag sedan jag såg den, men mindes det mesta. Och det jag tänkte på mest nu när jag såg den här invecklade historien igen var hur de faktiskt lyckats riktigt bra med spänningen. När allt närmar sig klimax. Fast jag viste precis hur det skulle gå, vart jag skitstressad. Nästan irriterad på att det inte gick snabbare. Jag satt som på nålar, fast jag viste vad som skulle hända. Galet.

Iallafall, så gillar jag iden. Om drömmar, om drömmar i drömmar. Om olika verkligheter. Vad är egentligen på riktigt? Detta kan man ju snacka om i evigheter utan att komma någonstans, vilket jag inte har lust att göra på en tisdagkväll, så ska inte ens börja.

Fast trots allt måste man fråga sig - vad var de höga på när de kom på filmen?

Jag vet inte, men jag gillar den, trots att den är lite lång då och då. Älskar slutet.
