As we’re staying in the jungle for a bit we needed Anti-malaria prescriptions, which ended up costing £13.50 each at the NHS (so much for a free service) for a Malarone prescription, and in the NHS Pharmacy each pill would have been £2.83 and together we would need 140, other drugs like Vibramycin and Lariam would have been cheaper but Sarah has had pretty bad reactions to these before, so why spoil a holiday?

We just went through the amount of injections that we need, it’s a ridiculous amount of things that can kill you out there in the world, and also I am afraid of needles, eeeek! So because I’m from Sweden I don’t really get immunised against anything, and have always just gotten the Gamma Globulin injection on holidays that kinda boost your immune system for 3 months, but this travel will more than likely extend beyond 3 months.

Sarah has compiled a small list of things we need for our journey. I’m scared with the “sterile syringe”, apparently its good to have and give to the doctor, to be safe, I don’t think doctors will take that as “you seem like a nice doctor, but I don’t think you’ve been taught hygiene”
