Ready for Departure
As dusk descends, the promised monsoon rains have not quite materialised but it is cold and very windy. It's good to know we will in hot and sunny climes quite soon.
Luggage is nearly packed. Judith has been scouring the shops for suitable light clothing and we have vast quantities of medical items including insect repellents and malaria tablets.

Most of the buildings date back a hundred years or so and look amazing but nothing much older.

Rambo and bath bombs
This morning we traveled from Edinburgh to Sunderland and were greeted by the best couch surfers we have had, hands down, so far. Tom was a total sweetheart and met us at the metro station. We walked back to their apartment and Tom explained that Dave was letting us use his room. When we got inside, Tom mare us PG tips, certainly my favorite tea, and then he showed us our room.
