One More Sleep

Both Leon and I cannot believe how quickly the last couple of weeks have flown by. Each day has been packed with last minute errands and purchases, some ridiculous (every country we are visiting will sell paracetamol yet we seem to have brought a pharmacy with us!) and others more practical (such as our backpacks - can't leave home without it).
This is our final weekend in the UK before our big adventure and we were both fortunate enough to make it to Chris and Hannah's wedding in Crowthorne. Leon, being best man number One, was on great form and conducted his duties as though he had done it many times before. Given that it was his first time, I have to say he did us all proud and above all, I think Chris was incredibly thankful that the speech wasn't as embarrassing as I'm sure it could have been. Hannah looked absolutely stunning and very happy, and the wedding ceremony and reception in the beautiful barn were perfect in all respects. However, since we all carried on partying into the early hours of the morning at the Waterloo Hotel (and rediscovered our appreciation for the classic G&T) both Leon and I are now feeling the effects of post-wedding bash fatigue.

Now that we have said our goodbyes to the new Mr and Mrs Bainbridge who fly off to South Africa tonight for their honeymoon, the attention has now turned back to our impending trip. I think the only thing left for us to deal with is travel insurance but after that, I think we can put our feet up, watch a bit of the X Factor, and nod off for one more sleep before the travels begin....
