This blog should come with a health warning. A warning against terrible boredom which might lead to death. But, despair not faithful readers - I'm off in less than a week. 5 Days to be exact. I've been throwing my stuff together (it's not that I really ever need my skiing stuff and thermal underwear here in sunny SA), have done my Christmas shopping for my hosts in Germany (where I'm going to spend Christmas day) and have booked all my inner european travels (do you know of www.megabus.com?? it's like ryanair for buses in the UK - £2.50 return London to Sheffield).

Now all that is left to do is the find my darn skiing socks (any suggestions can be placed in the suggestion box - your anonymity is gauranteed).

By the way, just a short moan quickly. Does anybody know (or should that be does anybody care?!) how many power plug adapters one needs for travelling!! Especially with the 3-pronged SA plugs! It's a SA-euro adapter, SA-UK adapter and euro-UK adapter (for the cellphone chargers). They should allow an extra kg for SA'ns to take along adapters, just as they now make allowance for fat americans flying (I'm sure you've heard of the bigger seats story...)

Okies, before I face serious lawsuits for libel and defamatory statements (or causing pain and suffering!), I'll sign off. Probably till next time from the airport!
