Yellow Fever Injections & Malaria precautions:

·         The injection for Yellow Fever is compulsory – please be so kind as to send me a copy of the certificate. (Lourens, I will be coming around for mine either tomorrow or Friday, do I need an appointment?)

·         Malaria medication - The suggested anti-malarial drug: Malanil (AKA Malarone in the US & Aus). To take 1 daily; start 1-2 days prior to entry, continue while there and continue for 7 days after exit of malaria area. If you start on the 6^th and finish the 13^th=14 tablets.

·         It is also best if you take all the sprays, lotions etc with you to prevent from being bitten.

Hand baggage:

·         Should I forget to tell you this later on – always remember to pack your cycling shoes, cycling kit and helmet as part of your hand baggage – should our baggage be delayed (or misplaced) it is easier to find a bicycle or borrow one, that it is to find those items that fit you perfectly.
