Ruminations

All systems go! We’re all packed. We’re travelling really light, and don’t have anything to check-in. Minimal electronics (camera, mobile phone, no laptops), a few casual clothes, one pair of shoes (on our feet). The downside – this means we won’t be able to eat in posh restaurants. However, given that we haven’t made any bookings, I don’t think it would have been realistic to expect to be able to get in anyway. In any case, posh doesn’t have a monopoly on good flavours, and I’m sure we’ll enjoy sampling the national cuisines.

Apart from knowing where we’ll be, and a rough idea of some of the touristy sights we’ll try and see, we haven’t got a detailed itinerary.  I’m going to enjoy exploring.

Not sure how much I’ll be blogging; it will all depend on what sorts of facilities the hotels have or how much we want to sit in Internet cafes, I think.
