Simon signing in: (I do this because Rein started it for some unknown reason and I am now paranoid that if I do not people will not know who is typing what!)
Yesterday Rein and I finally collected our passports with our approved 6 month VISA. Phew, what a relief that was after 7 weeks wait! The guys at the VISA centre recognised us every time we entered the room and knew what we were there for, and this time, success, they were ready.
But, the work of preparation before we head off is still an uphill battle. The thought alone of packing clothes for 10 months through three different climates is daunting and working out what we can do with or without is hard, especially when I am in-charge of packing duties (I'm good at it ;-)).
Yesterday too we had our final (almost, one more in 6 months) 'jab' against the many nasties which could come knocking at our door over the next few months so that too is something which we were able to strike off!
All in all I feel excited, confident, a little anxious but overall happy that the adventure is soon to start. Rein on the other hand, is struggling a little, especially with sleep. He had another restless and almost sleepless night last night stressing over god only knows about the journey ahead! Bless. I think, what is there to worry about? Apart from mosquitoes, theft, curry OD, 36 hour non-stop train journeys, millions of people, the daily search for fresh water (does Tesco deliver to India?) or finding our home of a few months, all looks fun! Well, challenging fun, like one of those TV game-shows.
Over and out! (never again) Simon :-)

Yes! Now you can get out of here! Good riddance!
