Now, what has not progressed well is getting insurance cover. Specialised services like Yellow Jersey and ETA aren't even close to what we need. We're having a look at other alternatives but that's going slowly and badly.
Other things on the list involve yellow fever vaccination, ordering new bank cards so they don't expire mid-trip, buying sleeping bag/quilts, and finishing clearing the house. We got rid of a good 70% of everything that was in it, but there's still loads to do. Oh, and ending my part in the business I started 10 years ago, and saying good bye to London. Easy.
More than anything, the realisation that in around a month's time we'll be on the road is starting to hit hard. Especially because everything still seems so bloody normal. We still buy groceries at the shop, go for a beer around the corner, do small talk with the shopkeepers. It's strange, so much happening and yet so little changes.
