We've been shopping! I have spent a lot more money than I expected to in the last couple of weeks and we haven't even left the country yet. Oops. There have been a lot of unexpected costs that keep popping up and it makes me wonder if everyone who goes travelling has the same surprises we are having...
Not exactly hidden costs but easy to forget ones;
Not exactly hidden costs but easy to forget ones;
- Redirecting post for a year.
- Fixing clothes. For some reason I have a lot of clothes with holes in them.
- Very expensive Vaccines.
- Walking boots.
- Good quality sandals.
- Ruck sacks.
- 9 months supply of daily contact lenses.
- Travel insurance (and photography equipment insurance if you're taking any good kit).
- Worldwide adaptors.
- Medicine, first aid kit and wash kit.
- Netbook computer. not essential but we've gone for it.
- A Kindle. again, not essential but I'm really glad I've got one.
- Batteries for everything that takes batteries.
- Gadgets that Jim can't do without... head torch, travel sink plug, rucksack liner, padlocks, washing line, sporks, and more gismos I can't remember.
- Nice new stationery because it's just too hard to resist.
- Bits and bobs that say 'travel' on them so I suddenly think I need it!
