Last Entry before we go

Right,

This is my last entry in the UK so hopefully this will be the last boring entry and I will have something worth reading to write about next time.

Our entire pre-travelling preparation has consisted of:
a. Going to the doctor for Anti-Malaria pills,
b. Taking Anti-Malaria pills (which Rach reacted to!)
c. Rach reading "The motorcycle diaries" by Che Guevara

Thankfully she has also read the guide book quite throughly as not sure the motorcycle diaries is that relavent to todays traveller; me, I can just about name the countries we are visiting! I plan to spend the next 7 months in a semi-drunken state so haven't put a lot of effort into planning for this - I'm more worried now about the fact that I am unemployed and jobless.

We didn't pack till last night and leave for London in 30 minutes so we will obviously have forgotten something. I also finshed painting the last outside window I stripped last week this morning so have white hands. Why oh why can't we plan our time better. I really hope you don't need a Visa for Peru or we are knackered, plus what currency do they take? We have been told to pay for the taxi to the hostel in US Dollars so I can only assume cash machines out there give it in Dollars?

As you can see we are completely unprepared!

Anyway I'll stop this rambling and go get a train
