1 week, 6 days to go

getting excited

Getting pretty fucking excited about going now, but it’s also getting harder to keep finding things to write about when the trip hasn’t begun yet. I mean, what do you say when nothing happens?

Having said that, we have been finalising the trip - trying to tie up loose ends before departure and ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible while we’re travelling around. But I’m pretty sure we won’t get everything done. For one I keep remembering things to do and then not writing them down, so I forget to do them again.
Oh well, wouldn’t wanna over plan the thing anyway.

final preparations commence

Today we started doing the final checks on all our equipment. Stuff like making the tent (which already broke... but we fixed it again), checking the sleeping bags, getting camera lenses fixed. Its fun playing with all our new toys, but I’m sure the novelty will wear off once we start lugging it everywhere with us.
