The Last Day at Alert

I spent my last day mostly packing my equipment and personal stuff. My check-in baggage had to be at the HAPS ramp at 1.00 p.m., so I did that right after breakfast at 7 a.m., so that I could continue with my scientific gear.

I found a drill that could go in both directions and some bits – so this time I opened and closed the GC Box without getting my hands sore and packing the GC was a snap. I prepared the coolers (left them outside for a couple of hours) to load them with my samples later tonight – I got an extra day before loading after some negotiations.

There is quite a bit of dangerous stuff to ship back (waste, standards, cylinders,…) and I will work things out, when I get back.
