Cameras and photos and clothes and stuff...

Lee and I both have cameras, and perhaps we don't need to take both, but you invariably end up with either of us catching something the other missed. And, because of the diversity of the places we will be visiting, there will be much to photograph. I hope to be able to master inserting them into these "posts", so that anyone following our travels will get an idea of where we are and what we're doing.

(The photo I have inserted here is from another trip, but practice for me. It is Scotney Castle in Kent)

My camera is very light. I did have a Digital SLR, but found it too heavy, and too complicated, so I have 'downgraded/downsized' to just a digital camera, and am quite happy with that. Trouble is, like I've said before, you still have to take the chargers, etc, and that's space and weight.

We spent some money the other day, investing in some gear for the trip. I got a new pair of those trousers, that zip off and become shorts if needed. I was about to take the young guy to task with my usual tirade of, "why don't they make travel clothes for shorter, wider people?", and he showed me a rack of just what I wanted, so all is well. (I mean not everyone who travels is normal size and six feet tall!)
Also got ourselves a money pouch thingy to go under our shirts, just for a bit more security. We both already have special shoulder bags (Pacsafe), which are reinforced with steel wire throughout the bag, so that they cannot be taken from you by cutting the strap.

Golly, it's almost March.....
