Another day closer to Saturday and today we have to start packing. That is going to be REALLY interesting because the amount of STUFF we have is the size of Table Mountain.

This is just a short list of it all:

- Food, tools, medical kit (can open up a hospital and do a brain transplant with all the stuff), spare parts, a toilet chair (the knees don't bend so well anymore behind the bush), clothes (need to prepare for some very cold nights as well when we hit Europe in the winter), tent, sleeping bag, chairs, table, cooking stuff and a lot more.

- valuables like camera, binoculars, GPS, Satellite telephone (to call home and find out what the cricket scores are), iPod (can only listen so much to the local radio station), small computer (to prepare these blogs).

Will have to go and buy some spares later this morning and then all the packing will begin.

Hopefully the Ethiopian embassy will finish the passports today so that we can get the passports back tomorrow. Then it is off to the Italians for the Schengen visa.
