Two more days, three sleeps...

So just two days until pre-camino preparation ends and Europe here I come. I had great intentions to finalise my packing earlier this week noting that little additions kept creeping into my backpack!! I realised I needed to shed another kilo. Decisions about carrying a smarter outfit for Paris, extra socks etc. In the end with a minor tweak or two and my weight goal was achieved. an extra bonus was that now the pack fits into the drysac that will become it's waterproof liner once the international flight is over. I've decided to checkin my pack, taking the risk on lost luggage. I'm wearing my hiking shoes so anything else is replaceable. I just hope I'm not tested on that.

So final list...a point of obsession with potential pilgrims that I vowed not to develop.....fail!

Note: clean alternative hiking clothes donned after day's walk and showering is both dinnerwear and Pjs
