Dangerous Destinations

Excellent! Just when you're really starting to look forward to the big trip, two of the countries enter the Top 20 most dangerous destinations in the world.

It was with disbelief that we watched the Mumbai terror attacks on the breakfast TV, feeling a bucket load of sadness for the victims, but with that niggly voice inside saying "Isn't Mumbai the first place we're flying to in India in one month?"

Then of course we see the protests that are currently kicking off at Bangkok airport in Thailand, nice!!

Flip it, it'll work it's self out, and we're still going either way :)

6 Vaccines down, 4 to go

I've had six vaccines so far, and i'm starting to feel like a pin cushion!

I underestimated how close together getting the vaccines are, this week i had my first Hepatitus B jab, and my last Rabies jab (of 3), next week i have my 2nd Hepatitus B and Typhoid on the same day!

No adverse side effects as yet, except for being incredibly itchy after the first 2 rabbies jabs, am i turning into a dog?

Denmark

So thought i'd fit in a quick weekend break away in Copenhagen, Denmark.

It's a really nice city, very clean, but very expensive.

Today we visited the Carlsberg Brewery, too much beer is being consumed this weekend!

Visas, Vaccinations and Vietnam

We're currently amidst the planning and preparation of our trip. You don't realise how much there is to organise for a trip this long.

We've got an appointment with the Indian Embassy tomorrow to process our tourist visa application, hopefully this will be an easier process than applying online (40 minute nightmare!).

Once we have our Indian Visa we'll apply for our Vietnam one, if we have time, else we'll just have to try and get it in Bangkok :s

We're due to get our second Rabies jab on Tuesday and i'm starting my Hepatitis B jabs soon. I feel like a pin cushion!
