Day 0...

I'm all packed and ready to go now, but my mind keeps switching from 'have I packed too much' to 'have I packed everything that I'll need'. Luckily, this first step is only three weeks long and when we get back we can refine the packing further and at least we won't need to take a sleeping bag on the second leg so that'll save loads of space in the rucksack.

The cab is coming at 15:20 and our nine-hour flight leaves Heathrow at 19:20. Shame we won't get to see T5 this time round though. This time tomorrow we'll be in Zanzibar, should get some nice pictures from there.
