3. 4 way extension leads are a vital packing requirement. (And that doesn’t make for an interesting photo, so have a shot of two cows.)

4. Mosquitos make a satisfied squelch when squashed on a screen. But leave a bit of a smear.

6. That meme about wifi being added to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs isn’t a joke. It really is that important. Or at least on this trip.

8. Realising how much of what you want to do is dependent on tech hard to access in the very place you’re visiting to blog about.

11. Travelling to a part of the world to see the work of a brilliant charity is a privilege and an honour. I have loved it.
