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.

Dat heb je al je met zijn vieren een kamer zit waar net 2 stapelbedden en 4 grote rugzakken inpassen (gezelligheid!).
