One week to go

Madly getting everything sorted out. There was a brief panic when Camilla said to check the visa requirements. Fortunately they have not changed - as British citizens, we can visit for up to 3 months without a visa.

I solved one problem today. I have searched high and low to try to get some sort of map of Rwanda for my GPS. Today I stumbled upon OpenStreetMap and was able to eventually find one already rendered to Garmin from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download

Another thing solved - Microsoft have just released the RAW mode codec so that the better quality pictures from a couple of my cameras can be viewed as thumbnails.

We also solved another problem today and got rid of the muck heap behind the stables. This is about half the weight of the A330 plane we will take to Rwanda (and about 1.5x that of the A320 family). Down here in Zummerzet we measure things differently!
