It's mostly gravy...

Ready or not, the journey to the other side of the planet begins. I've learnt a few hundred Spanish words with caveman-level proficiency. The phrase that comes easiest is "Mi aerodeslizador es lleno de anguilas" although it may be tricky to weave "My hovercraft is full of eels" into conversation. I still can't count to 10 without prompting though. These are the virtues and pitfalls of being self taught.


It was just minutes before heading to the airport that i first tried to squish my selection of items into my backpack. This rushed and haphazard approach meant that half the boxes of gravox had to be jettisoned, but it is probably a good thing that less packaged powder to shows up on the xray scanners.

The next 20+ hours I'll be doing rubix yoga as i try to solve the puzzle of how to sleep in chairs.
