Malaria and Mosquito Repellent
"Alan S" kirjoitti om... On Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:49:28 GMT, "KGB" To be honest, the thought of pitching my tent in front of Angkor, or the Taj Mahal, or Petra, or Giza, or Abu Simbel, or Chichen Itza, or Teotihuacan (all on this trip) does not turn me on at all. Even if the local authorities allowed it I doubt it would be very wise, let alone comfortable. I may bring a tent along only if I drive in Europe by my own car. To live comfortably in a tent one needs an air mattress. Mine is 20*160*200cm in dimension. Because lots of air is needed to stuff the thing, a decent pump is also necessary. Preferably engined by car's electric system so that we outdoor heros don't have to sweat unecessarily. The mattress isn't light but weighs several kilos and it doesn't fold into small space. Minimum camping gear weighs around 10 kilos. Too much to carry it on a rucksack. Naturally those cellular plastic mattresses are much lighter but they are no good. In countries like Cambodia, Egypt, Jordan, India and Mexico accommodation is so cheap that there is no point to tease oneself by carrying a tent. Those who overnight in woods think differently. |
