90 days of summer

Hi! A lot has happend since the last update. We've been here in Pondi all the time enjoying life, basically living at our favourite cafees. The other day when we had finished our two hour breakfast we walked past a girl (tourist) and she smiled at us and then she said to her boyfried "ah dar ar nagra skaningar" (in swedish) and we started talking and it turns out that she is from Helsingborg (like me) and the guy is from Angelholm (like Jacob), what are the odds of us meeting in this huge country? Well, we did. After talking for about 30 minutes we decided to have lunch two hours later. They had given us a tip about their hotel that was a lot cheaper than ours and had a balcony with a great view of the sea. One our later we were checked out and checked in and all installed in our new cheap, great room. And just a two minute walk to our favourite cafe.

An hour later we had lunch at another cafe colse by and we sat there for three hours just talking about everything... then we went back to our rooms and went out for dinner later in the evening. We had a very nice day! It so fun meeting people here and talk about everything thats weird with this country and exchange experiences.

Anyway... some plans has changed... I think God is playing a sick little game with us. After a talk with mum and dad (Kate & Robert) about the boat that we're going on... (mum think it will look like a pirateship.. )The next morning I got a textmessage saying: "Frankly I'm not very happy about you going on that boat. Book a flight... we'll pay for it."

Okay... first we were a bit shocked... I hadn't realized that it was that big of a deal and that they were THAT worried (or that mum was that worried). We thought that this was a bit silly and we wanted to go on the boat because it's an adventure and that's what this trip is about. But then I thought about mum and that they are going on a vacation these few day when we're on the boat and I want her to be able to relax (which is not very easy at all times).... and of course.... honestly... who says no to a comfortable, two hour flight???? We're not that proud.

So we're leaving on wednesday the 31 of March. Arrive at 11:30 and have four full weeks on the islands. It seems to be good internet access in Port Blair but everywhere else it's not very likely that we'll be connected.  We'll do our best!

Today Jacob shaved off his "beard". Or he didn't do it, we went to a "barbershop" and paid 50 rs for the whole thing (about 8 kr), it was quite fun to watch. He looks like he is seventeen!!! And it's so smooooth... A big differens. Yesterday we went to some nice shops here in Pondi where they had labels such as levis, ray ban, nike... and so on and everything is so much cheaper her. A pair of levis jeans costs 300 swedish kr, at home they cost like 900 or more! A pair of ray bans costs 500 kr. It was really hard not to bye anything... well I got a ring (not an engagement ring!!) and Jacob got a t-shirt. Now our plans is to grab some indian parantha and find a nice cafee and write some postcards! (If you want postcards, send us an e-mail with your adress... we'll send as many as we can)

And tomorrow... It's a special day... 30 of march... lalala

Lots of love to you all!
