Topics of conversation during our time in SA.

1. What would Hev say/do?
eg ´This place is a shithole´or ´come here little doggie, let me give you a brush´.

2. Will eating this give us food poisoning?
There are many factors to take into consideration including how hungry we are, how tastey it looks, when we are likely to eat again, the proximity/ availability of the closest toilet, is a bus journey imminent, how long can we go without eating anything, are we in Bolivia?

3. How long will the water last?
Should we buy it when we have the chance but then have to carry it around? Should we brave it and hope we can find it cheaper? Should we just buy fizzy water? Shall we brave the water filter?...no.

4. What is the toilet roll/wet wipe situation?
Do we have enough for the day? Should we steal it from the hostel? Is one of us likely to get poisoned and need a whole lot more than usual?

5. What would Indie be doing now?
Mostly sleeping. But occasionally this conversation occurs at the time he would be going for his second walk of the day. Pilsdon Pen? Lamberts Castle, or Coneys???? Maybe the beach....

6. Roo- ´Can we adopt this animal´?
Emma- No

7. Why isn´t the camera working? I hate this camera, it never works, look its not even starting up, I´ve lost all the photos....
Emma- put new batteries in it Roo.

8. The consistency and regularity of one´s bowel movements.
´Maybe its the altitude´. ´You should eat some fruit´. ´You´re probably dehydrated´ etc.

9. Where are the passports/visas?
Where are the passports, we´ve lost the visas, we´ll have to live in Peru forever, we´re going to get arrested, I can´t find them, there´s no point looking, you´ve lost them, you lose everything....oh they´re here in my pocket!

10. How many layers of clothes should we sleep in?
Is it likely to get warmer during the night or colder? How chlostrophobic do I feel? Should I put on socks?

11. 'I need a wee'.
Do you need a wee? Should we go for a wee? How cold is it outside? How long till morning? I´ll go if you go.

12. How long can we go without a shower?
Is the water cold? Can I disguise my greasy hair with this hat? Can we smell other people´s clean washing?

13. Is there anywhere to put our boots?
I can smell them from here. Put them in the cupboard. Just sleep in them so we don´t have to smell them. Just don´t take off your socks.
