Epic Packing (9 days to go...)

With only one week left in the stunning*coughmingingcough* place that is Haddy, and only 9 days until I leave for South Africa, here's the latest update.

Packing stage 1:

Includes clothes, mosquito net, malaria tablets, loads of tablets for things I've never heard of, camera, all 6 journals that I was given for Christmas, 50 pens, 6 pairs of shorts, factor 50 suncream and a compass. Sadly I'm not taking that blue foam lightsaber.

I'll let you know if all that a) fits in my bag and b) comes to under 20kg.
Apart from packing, I'm pretty much ready - today I bought envelopes and whitetack (getting security checked in Tesco in the process) and ordered some South African rands.

Here is my address whilst in Zithulele if you feel the need to make me very happy and send some mail. I'd advise sending it now, then I might get it before I come back here
