SEA06: Less than a week

Finally we are getting there... a bit of stress, but...

All vaccinations are taken, all types of mosquito repellants bought, together with all the rest of pharmacy stuff, from a very basic first aid kit; passing by water purification tablets (silver ones, not clorine, for water that tastes like water, instead of tasting like a public swimming pool); sun protection, shampoo, shaving stuff, toothpaste and other toiletries; toilet paper, as most public toilets over there might not supply it; the complete lot. Actually, given the climate and the recommendation on our travel guides about waiting to get there to buy everything else, our suitcases will be mostly empty, filled only with pharmacy stuff and electronics (i.e. mobile phone, MP3-player, digital camera and the chargers for all of them).

Boots, long sleeve shirts, long/short technical trousers, towel (as good Hitchhiker), swiss knife, camera, music, some reading, sunglasses, an old harmonica I never quite managed to play, a touareg-style headscarf instead of a hat, sandals, sewing kit, day backpack, passport, credit cards, plane reservations...

So, we are more or less ready to go.
