Fortune Faded...


Money



Since June the Value of the pound has tumbled. For £1 I could have got 67.00 Thai Baht but now they're worth 48.00 Baht... Not good. Other currencies I'll have to use include:

  • American Dollar - £1 = $1.38
  • Australian Dollar - £1 = $2.10
  • Bolivian Boliviano - £1 = B9.70
  • Brazilian Real - £1 = R3.24
  • Chilean Peso - £1 = P858
  • Malaysian Ringgit - £1 = R4.97
  • New Zealand Dollar - £1 = $2.60
  • Singapore Dollar - £1 = $2.06
  • Peruvian Nuevo Sol - £1 = S4.37
Tho the strength of the pound is as good now against the OZ and NZ dollars as it was last summer! woot. I don't think it's going to get any better for the Pound / Thai Baht before I fly either.


Storage

All of my possessions are in storage in my bros old room at my folks place and I've started to sort through all the bits and pieces i have to fit in my bag and take with me! Plenty of drugs and first aid kit to be taken, which hopefully I wont have to use. Also bought a wire bag security net with padlock to wrap around my hiking bag when I'm not with it, or am asleep et c. As long as I get my camera and clothes into the bag I'm happy :c)
