My iPads memory is full, and I can't access the computer it is connected to

Hey!

So I am currently overseas- in a city where I know nobody, so borrowing a computer with iTunes is difficult, and I have no access to the computer my iPad is connected to.

My iPad keeps crashing, Facebook crashes every 10 minutes or so, and safari when ever I am doing something important such as booking transport/ hostels online. Suddenly it's gotten so bad I can't even check Facebook.

I am aware that a potential quick fix for this is to update my iPad, however my iPad is full of photos I synced from my computer at home, to give to my dad while he was in hospital. Now I don't need or want the photos, but can't get rid of them, but don't want to totally wipe my iPad (obviously), and there isn't enough memory for me to install the new update that may solve my problem.

Is there any way around this?!

Thanks,

Ally
