a full circle...

today i spent another 870 bucks at the travel clinic... and finally we are done... so, all in all, 2780 bucks (ZA Rand) have been spent, and what do you get?? a sore arm and a white piece of paper with stamps in it and a doctors messy hand writing, i really dunno how anyone, especially those knowledgeable border guards are going to read it??
anyway, now we can drink cholera invested water, not bother about getting e-coli and let a dog or a flippin' hyena bite us and we should be good to go in the morning. (jeez I wanna read that part after we get back!!)
malaria is the last thing to still sort out... bascially we will take a self-test kit along, comes in a fiver pack (bonus!!) - feeling ill?? prick the finger, if you test positive take some helluva expensive tablets to get you right and head to the nearest doc... ugh!

i nearly forgot - got some gear on the weekend, thanks to nicole (my sister), she brought back an awesome KTM jacket, gloves, tankbag and kidney belt... gonna put it to the test soon...
