Online anywhere

This afternoon I collected the satellite internet system from Inmarsat. BGAN is a combined satellite phone and internet terminal, about the size of a hardback book. Now we can upload pics, videos and blogs from anywhere on our trip, provided there's a view to the satellite. We can even stream video, if we were halfway competent at that sort of thing.

Look, there's me on the right, looking all manly and unruffled with my go-anywhere internet and phone. Now, where's the butler with my G&T?

But it should be handy when we're beyond the comfortable world of hotel lobby WiFi and mobile broadband. Plus we can call for help when the car falls apart!

Now back to the packing...
