Welcome to our blog!

So it's 02.16am and 5 long, bitter hours of ruthless packing wars have just ensued. Let's get ready to ruuuuumble.

The games began with a, frankly pitiful attempt from Jodes to veto Tay's Mr Motivator-inspired bumbag, which failed miserably. Meanwhile Tay managed to persuade Jodes to cut her elaborate and overly plentiful supply of granny panties in half, a valid first victory. Jodes got her own back however when her negotiating skills saw Tay's back-up lipgloss being thrown out of court. Things really began to heat up when Tay's toiletry supplies took a real hit, and her second deodorant hit the deck. A check mate situation arose and saw an end to the Battle when neither girl was willing to surrender their ridiculously greedy supplies of vitamin E body moisturiser.

Enough Vitamin E body cream to moisturise the population of China

After 1 box of maltesers, 6 glasses of Champagne, 5 slices of marmite on toast, 8 bag re-packs and 1 missing ipod panic, we are ready to head to the airport. And neither of us even had to sit on our backpacks to get them closed.

Smell ya later!

Oh, I see what you've done there. By taking a photo from low down and close up, you have used the unusual perspective to create the illusion that the tub of moisturiser is even bigger than its already copious 470ml volume.

However, it does lead to an intriguing question of mathematical estimation: what volume of moisturiser do you think IS used by the population of China in a three and a half month period? (Note: as your tub of moisturiser will be in South America, and therefore unavailable to the Chinese, the 470ml should be ignored in any calculation)

By the way, going by the temperatures in Rio, I would imagine that the tub of moisturiser remains, as yet, unneeded and undepleted.
