15: Ouch! & Double Ouch!

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Picked up my Travel Vaccines from the Chemist today.

I paid a staggering £300 (Outch!). On top of that I had to pay the Nurse £50 for advising and issuing the private prescriptions and there will be an extra £50 for a Yellow Fever Vaccination that has to happen at a special Yellow Fever Clinic. Total £400 – katschinggg… %-O

Well never mind, can’t put a price tag on my Health now can I ?!

Of course there is still the matter of administering those darn vaccines *sigh*
Meaning: 12 injections nicely distributed over the next 4-5 weeks.

Now that’s what I call Double Ouch (or rather Twelvefold I guess)!!

Cover:
Tetanus,Diphtheria,Typhoid,Polio,Hep A,Hep B,Japanese Encephelitis,Rabies and of course Malaria.

14: Trip Map

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Here is a map of my flight destinations and arrivale dates.
It only includes the flights of my RTW ticket, additional flights and overland routes details are not included.
If there is no date next to a City then this means I depart from this City by plane but arrive there by means of overland transport (rain/bus/boat/…).

11: Kiwi Feedback

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005
Got a message from my mate Charlie yesterday who moved to New Zealand a few years ago. He basically said come in Feb/Mar or not at all since it's pissing down with rain after March ;-) Bother! Back to the drawing board.... ... [Continue reading this entry]

10: A New Home

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005
Today I created www.saschas-world.co.uk I decided to move my blogs from blogger.com to BootsnAll because they have better web and blog support it seems. Sadly though the URL to BootsnAll blogs is rather lengthy so I decided to get my own ... [Continue reading this entry]

5: Backblogs?

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005
What are Backblogs? I hope it's not a Trademark since I just made this one up. (Backblogs = Backlog Blogs) Hopefully Backblogs won't happen often. Backblogs are Blogs which I had written or was going to write but did not publish ... [Continue reading this entry]
