So finally, I have packed my clothes and shoes (yes, actually had to try out a few things just to make sure I fit into them... and look reasonably attractive....). Sadly, clunky shoes and sporty pants with zips were unavoidable (so not me). Have now also bought a second insurance policy - and hopefully, I won't need to avail myself of their evacuation assistance.... Remaining to be done: A TON OF WORK AT THE OFFICE. And trying out my super new "tough" pocket digital camera the Olympus TG-1.
