Paul does London to Sydney by bus!
Well I think I'm ready as I'll ever be. Not much to report. Had a practice pack on Wednesday which was interesting. Far too much stuff and I'm going to have to leave some things behind.
So heres roughly what am taking...
1. An 80 litre rucksack
2. Pop Up Tent
3. Sleeping Bag
4, Pop Up Mozi Net
5. Camping Pillow
6. Travel Pillow for coach
7. Small Torch
8. Wind up torch
9. Wash Bag, complete with all the standard toiletres
10. A shed load of medical stuff including the essential diarohiaa tablets for the jelly belly i'll no doubt pick up.
11. Malaria tablets
12. Mozi spray, mozi plug in tablets
12. First aid kit
13. Micro Towels
14. Silk Liner for sleeping bag
15. Travel Adaptors
16. Mobile Phone on some dodgy travel sim
17. I pod (over 5000 songs, 10 movies, Karl Pilkington podcasts, and the TV show Lost: season 4)
18. Camera, with a handy camera bag
18. Various chargers, batteries, etc
19. Penknife thingy
20. Alumimum Water bottle
21. Water Purifaction tablets
22. Security Lock thing
23. A handheld fan
24. Ear Plugs and Night Mask
25. Notpads and Pens
26. Couple of books
27. All those important docs I really need to look after passport, visas, etc
28. Cards...for winning lots of Poker games
29. Fake wallet, i've put a few old cards and spare change in there and will hand it to the thief if I ever get robbed!
30. All my clothes, t-shirts, jumper, jeans, zip of trousers, walking shoes, etc, etc.
31. plus other stuff which I can't quite remember now
Quite an impressive list if you ask me!...however potentially back breaking with the weight!
So I head down to London on Saturday on the Megabus. Meeting a couple of my fellow Ozbusers for a few sneaky drinks around London....however can't make it a late one as I've got to be at Cleopatras Needle by Embankment for 7am for the bus! I've already been in touch with the tour leader, she said if I was late I would be put on the toliet rota for 3 months solid! I've been warned.
According to Ozbus, the first couple of days go like this... 'Kicking off in London and heading east, we pass through northern France to Belgium, with our first night stop in medieval Bruges. Then onto Germany, visiting historic Heidelberg before arriving in the beautiful city of Prague in the Czech Republic'
So there you have it, I will more than likely be in touch next in Prague. Let the games begin.........
