MARTIN’S
TRAVELADVICE
Drinka littlewhisky
everyday
“It’s good todrink,
especially the first twoor
threedays. I takewhisky
everywherewithme, or
schnapps. I washmymouth
with it before everymeal.
InEgypt I drink a little, two
or three times aday. Don’t
drink a lot, so you are
drunk, but a little is good
so youwon’t get sick.”
Don’twashyour fruit
“If you eat fruit inpolluted
countries, don’twash it. If
youdowash it, you have to
dry it before you eat it.”
Stayaway from salads
“Salads aredangerous in
placeswhere thewater
is polluted – you’ll get
diarrhoea immediately.”
Lather up
“During long-distance
swimming, mix lanoline
andVaseline together, to
avoid chafing.”
