Malaria tablets taste disgusting!
Oh and please ignore the slideshow for the time being. I wanted to get it in place on the page, but as soon as I have some real trip photos I will be showing them instead of blog page elements!

4 more sleeps!
Amazing how time flies! I can't quite believe that my adventure begins in just a few days. I have found a great way to deal with the panic that washes over me from time to time. I sit transfixed watching some amazing wildlife webcams that I have found that show live streaming footage from Ecuador, Africa and the Belize reef. They are well worth taking a look at, you never know what you might see!
Click here for the one in Ecuador. It is mostly hummingbirds but you can sometimes see toucans and the wonderfully snuffly-nosed coati, a Latin American mammal that is related to the raccoon.
Click here for the Belize reef. They have been making some repairs and adjustments to this cam over the last few days so if it doesn't work, go back again soon. It's wonderful watching the fish and I saw a stingray the other day :)
Last but definitely not least, whilst not remotely related to my current trip, the cam in Africa is amazing. I've seen so much wildlife on it, including giraffes, warthogs, elephant and antelope. Click here to check it out :)
I'm not sure which of the other National Geographic Wildcams are live/working at the moment as some of them are seasonal.
No other trip news to report at the moment, aside from the occasional panic attack, my biggest concern right now is whether or not the walking shoes I bought will actually arrive in time! I'll try and post again on Wednesday, which is packing day, and maybe even get a photo of the chaos zone that is my bedroom!
Adios amigos!
