I absolutely love your report! I am so jealous you were able to spend such a long time there. That is definitely a dream on mine.

Greetings Ms T
I saw this website and thought you might be interested.
During the London Olympics 2012 there is going to be a Jamaican Village set up. I think it would be a wonderful way to celebrate The 50th Anniversary of Jamaican Independence and all the OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS we are going to win.
It's confirmed that the Great Cocoa Tea will perform . Probably sing Happy Golden Jubillee To You Dear ELIZA, mi sweetheart and threaten Prince Philip that he will 'tek weh his gal'

The last couple of days have been fun filled drama filledand adventurous!
We left the family home and had some personal stuff toattend to and then we headed further into the interior of the cute littleisland to visit more family.
Manda, I was thinking of you and your holy s@@@ bar everysecond of the way on our journey.The problem I had while being hundreds of feetin the air on a tiny winding road with no railings/barriers was the huge truckscoming at high speed in the opposite direction OMG where is my holy crap bar?Ihad no bar,I did not trust the car door,I could not trust the seat I could notgrip onto anything so I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best, at onepoint the back wheel had some stone crumble under it OMG we were officially onthe edge of a cliff with a huge truck almost running us off the road.Thishappened twice I was SCARED call 911 call 911 or 119 IN ADVANCE! It is not forthe faint hearted,The roads are scary.It can be so dangerous.
The views were amazing though, that I saw in the few secondsI was brave enough to peep open my eyes.All I could see was jungle like viewsall lush and green and JUNGLE looking.I wonder what is up there in the junglescene?I wonder what animals live there if any?Or what people if any?There areno houses just greenery.My daughter keeps saying she wants to explore there, Ithink maybe that could be dangerous.I bet someone offers some sort of hiking oradventure holiday for it somewhere but today is not our day for hiking throughthe Jungle we have enough drama going on without finding more!
We arrived at our nieces house who had a bottle of rum forus as a present aww TOO cute, and she also had chicken and rice and peas andveg ready for our arrival,(she knows the direct route to my happy heart and face) I have to tell you about the rice it was the BESTrice I have ever tasted , nobody in Negril put any effort into the rice where Iate it was mainly bland steamed rice and a few kidney beans thrown in.You couldtell a lot of love had gone into this dish,I do not even particularly like ricebut THIS rice I could have eaten alone it was so scrumptious.She is giving methe recipe today.
She said it had grated coconut in and garlic and thyme andother bits and bobs,I will tell you all as soon as I get the recipe.It was theBOMB the shizzle!NOBODY had cooked rice like this my entire trip and we allreally enjoyed it.
I went down to her shop and employed myself as her little assistant and I would love toreally be her partner or assistant for real but she is the best cook ever and Ithink we need a cook shop!
She would be sold out within an hour every day.
This was a new home I was visiting as her family is nowexpanding so yes of course I was alittle bit worried, new area, new people could be scary but it was fine and we all had a great time.
Her partner has 3 jobs and one is a disc jockey wooooo soyou know I was happy when I saw the speakers , ecstatic when he shown me alittle program on the internet I could use to be a cyber dj something I havealways wanted to learn.It just happened out of the blue I did not even mentionmusic to him ,I picked it up really quick , took me less than 15 minutes tolearn and I was soon pulling up the tune and adding effects and mixing musicwhich was sounding NICEEEE through the speakers.The photos just show one smallspeaker in the bedroom, he had a big pile of them outside the door.This wasvery helpful to me, one- because I love music -2 –because I now will not haveto return home to silence, he is transferring it all for me with all the musicon to my laptop can I get A WHOOP WHOOP TRIPLE WHOOP! Boop boop boop!
And 3rd it is possible back home I could actuallymake some money from it which will help pay my massive debt from this holiday!
So I was very excited to have a play on that and we playedsome nice tunes until bedtime.
Hail up Mr G.
Not sure ( but I would say that it goes on) Anywhere I have been in the U.K or Europe at a reggae show I have always smelt it .
I guess you would have to check it out.
The only place to smoke weed openly and freely is Holland

good job tic, with continuing your trip report after your return and sharing the country with us! It is like you had two totally different trips in one.
Look at you with the big Wray and Nephew! Rewarded with Rum after being good at your in laws house:) What do you use as mixer with it? The stuff is so intense. I like it when it is added to drinks but on its own I almost lit myself on fire a couple of times. Plus the taste is intense. I have ran out of mixer before and had it with water OMG.
I agree with Irieworld. It is like two totally different trips in one! I'm enjoying your descriptions of the country. Thanks for continuing the trip report!
Love that group pic in the car. Your son is too cute! He's always hamming it up for the shots! :D
Enjoying the report! More more!
More pon more.
Plenty more.
Hope your family are doing well
