As a second option, I'm considering extending the end of the trip, and coming back via Rio
- stay a few days and head back on (say) the 6th. I can't get a price
for that right now, as their website won't do complex travel and I'll
have to ring up.

Line 19: Line 22:
First of all, does anybody else fancy joining me? If so, for which
option? Add your comments below:
Yellow fever, diphtheria, typhoid and hepatitis A were recommended by
my GP, and tetanus is apparently also a good idea if you haven't had a
booster recently.

== Insurance ==

Don't leave home without it. Medical bills can be very high if you're
abroad. Swapping policy details might be a good plan before we go in
case of emergency, but not on the wiki for privacy reasons please!

Tesco will sell you a fortnight of insurance for £40 covering most everything
you would be worried about.
