Day 13, in which we panic, then pack

Photobucket
Today was all about packing our bags, cleaning the flat and – in the case of Paul – investing in the largest collection of toiletries I have ever seen, including eight separate bottles of hand sanitiser (see above, back left). We were both rather surprised at how little one can fit into a suitcase or rucksack. Over the next ten weeks we'll be enjoying city breaks, mountain trekking, beach holidays, glacier walking, cycling and boat trips. Taking only one pair of shoes and one pair one of trousers doesn't seem quite enough.

We also visited Tom and Lucy's new baby, Anna, who is a tiny and sleepy little girl and will no doubt be a much larger and noisier baby by the time we get back. Everyone looked very well and, although exhausted, seemed to be far more content and happy than most new parents I've seen.
