Hello everyone. Not long to go now - how excited are WE !!!!!! All that remains is to get what looks like 250kg of stuff EACH into our rucksacks (weight limit on the plane 23kg, of course). As we survey the mountain of clothes we've picked, we start to think that maybe we won't be able to take a different outfit for every day of our 5 month trip, after all. Actually, I'm joking about that last bit, but there does seem to be a huge amount of stuff that HAS to come with us and as it's our first trip of this kind we're not really sure whether we're going overboard or not. Never mind, I envisage us dumping stuff as we go along, wondering why we ever brought so much with us in the first place and muttering under our breath as we heave the rucksacks onto yet another bus or train whilst sweating buckets in the heat !! Now it's time to get back to the packing.
