Sunday night last minute packing - The Storm before the calm !

It's 11.30pm and we are both finishing our packing and starting to worry about what we have forgotten! (and I'm missing the usual Sunday night drink in the local pub with some very nice people! Have seven for me guys!) Funnily enough there's isn't a huge amount to pack, it' s just essential clothing, wash kit, minor medical supplies and some casual clothes for the evenings. Of course mobile phones, cameras and chargers (who could go away without them these days!). Hadto leave my hairdrier behind !!

Our side bags on the bikes only weigh about 3Kgs each, which aint a lot considering we will be gone for 3 weeks! We have posted some more clothing ahead to Stockholm, just the save the residents of that city from the smell ;-)

Funny, both Ben's and my backs are playing up at the moment, not a great way to start the trip, but if that's all that happens then things will be good.

We will set off about 7am tomorrow and we're both hyped up about it. can't wait to get going, finally get on the road after all this planning. Ben has done the German part of the route before, so he knows where he's going (so he claims!), but it will all be new to me, especially the sweatynads ! We'll see how it all goes tomorrow...........
