The trip is finally starting to feel real.
On Saturday we got some of our initial vaccinations:
-Hepatitis A & Typhoid combined
-Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polia combined
-Yellow Fever
Both of our left arms are still sore today! We go back next Saturday to speak with the GP about altitude sickness medication, as well as pick up our anti-malarial meds (Mefloquine). Side effects apparently include pychosis and fits, but guess we have some time to decide if we actually take it or not.
On Sunday we went to a pre-trip meeting and meet a few of the folks who will join us on the trip. Nothing much new to report from this meeting. The trip kitty will go up by £250/person, but given the declining value of the pound, I had already assumed this would be the case. After the meeting we went and picked up a few more pieces of gear. Think we are now just about done with the shopping... hopefully!
