I've been mulling in my head what to take on this trip that is practical, sensible, cheap and weighs as little as possible. I've decided that careful planning is required to get the most out of my 50 litre ruck-sack. I have therefore been purchasing items from certain retail establishments that I have so far never considered. I have bought cotton knickers from Asda (I know! Listen people, I'll be leaving them behind - no pun intended). Six t-shirts from Primark. Go on! Guess how much ...........thirteen English pounds! How great is that? Please don't lecture on the origins of these items, I'm on a budget here! The Yellow Fever jab cost me £50, the malaria tablets are over £60 and the visa just to get me into Tanzania was £34 plus £10 recorded post so I could have my passport back.
Then there's the bikinis, the full on Madonna outfit for the last evening party. Well, I have the gloves, can anyone loan me a full length pink dress and a diamond bracelet?
Have a most fabulous time.... keep taking the tablets and I want lots of updates on your blog x x x
