Final Camino Preparations

It's hard to believe the moment is here -- we leave for the Camino de Santiago tonight!

With the help of a pretty exciting spreadsheet we have finalised our packing list and gotten everything into its respective bag or box!

Midway through the packing process.

All ready to go!

We probably won't be posting too much while on the Camino (trying to simplify our lives and all that), but we will be keeping a journal which we'll post after we're back.

You can view our packing list below.

The list is for one person but we'll obviously be doubling up on bike tools, toiletrees, etc. The whole thing, including the bags we've packed in, weighs about 6kg (not including water). There are a few things that we could cut if we absolutely had to, but since we didn't find the bikes too heavy on our trial run, we'll keep our small luxuries.
