Packing...............

Packing has begun in earnest.  And if everything is to fit in the snazzy pink rucksack then some things have to go - which meant one of the sleeping mats!  But I kept the down filled one in.  A couple of the lav rolls had to go to-  I really did not want to spend my time in Istanbul buying things like loo rolls but it looks like I will have to go to the nearest supermarket.  I am finding out about the practicalities of doing this sort of trip with minimal space.  Very good for future travels.  And now only a couple more days at home and then I am off on the first part of this incredible journey.
