Hello!
Wow – today was meant to be relaxing!!
I don’t think I am relaxed.
I am about to dive off to bed, but wanted to speed blog and say “See ya” for a week!
Thank-you for all the well wishes!
Apart from running about on last minute shopping errands, saying toodle-oo to Margie & Ruby and making $21 on my stall… doing the final pack was the aim
Its amazing how little you thought you had started with, then how much you decide to take out of that little amount and STILL end up with 18kgs!!
Every ounce counts. We wanted deodorant…
That will be enough and if not – too bad! 🙂
Toiletries – both our toothbrushes, toothpaste, facewasher, cotton buds, deodorant and medication. Soap is in dish washing kit.
Seriously – I don’t know how I am going to cope without my hairbrush and make-up!! … Oh wait… snicker – I was built for this!
Food!! Left to right. We ditched the cup-of-soup packs. We didn’t ditch the chocolate.
Coffee, sugar, powdered milk, beef jerky (home made)
Breakfast. Top two packs are mine. Weet-Bix. Other packs are Jeffs muesli mix
Dinner – dehydrated vegetable mixes with two minute noodles and curry beef with rice.
Muesli bars – for snacks
Lunch – pita bread which will have mayo, relish, tomato & cheese
More compact packing with less packaging.
What you take in you take out.
My bag is chokkas! Had to leave one lens behind.
Jeff’s bag and mine are about the same weight. He has the tent, I have most of the food. My advantage is that my pack will lighten daily!!! Cool!
Right! Don’t miss me too much. Hopefully if all goes well I will be back in a week with a ridiculous amount of photos to share!
Take it easy!
Cheers
Happy Trails!
I think I’m too late, but wanted to wish you a ‘Buen Camino’ and ask ….
did you drill holes in your toothbrushes? Mr Adventure met someone on a walk in Tassie who had done that!
Hope you have a great time
xx
haha – No – we did not go to the extent of toothbrush modification!!! 😀
And it was an incredible week! 🙂
Enjoy your trip! Stay safe! We will miss you, but look forward to your hiking trip pictures and stories!
Have loads of fun!! Can’t wait to see your pics
I’m so excited to hear all about your trip when you return! Have a great time!
