My cat Shila, dominating my bed, ignoring the chaos around her.


Shila again, probed by camera gear and voice recorders. Going to miss my comfy bed.


Denim jacket (bottom left); handmade cream woollen snood (top left); toiletries and 1st aid medical kit (red pull-bag, centre); two travel bags and black travel pillow (bottom right, on the floor).




Finally, bags are packed! Hiking bag (left) is decorated by Zulu love beads, a good omen for my travels. My mother used the same beads on her month long trip through India. The backpack (right) is filled with a towel and all my medical supplies. Rather be safe than sorry.
