This time I’m going to Ladakh, India… trekking trip for almost two weeks, total on trip just a bit more than 3 weeks… Probably this will be my last holliday before summer 2008, so it better be good… and this time next year, i will hopefully start on a prolonged trip RTW…

So… in a few hours I have to wake up 🙁 Packing too much longer than expected…

2 hours ago i still had a huge mess on my floor… So, for the next time I have to remember… I have to START packing earlier, not late in the evening before departure…

I just wonder what have I forgotten… hopefully nothing important…

What have I taken with me… (obviously for trekking purposes)
– a backpack (obivously)
– underwear for almost a week (tooo much, but hey)
– 2 shirts, 3 T-shirts, 2 shirts with long sleeves (majority easy dry – Mammut and Millet)
– 1 schoeller pants, 2 hiking pants (zip off), 1 termo pants for cold nights
– 5 pairs of socks (2 pairs specially for trekking)
– 1 towel
– 1 baseball cap, 1 woolen cap, 1 kerchief
– 1 fleece jacket (polartec)
– 1 drytech jacket
– 1 sleeping bag (middle temperature -7)
– 1 1,5L aluminium bottle including holder (Sigg)
– 1 kanga from Brazil to act like a sheet…
– 1 pair of good hiking boots, sandals and flip-flops (for the showers)
– 1 quality sunglasses
– toilletries, medicines, suncream…

And thats not all… additional 27L backpack, full of photo gear, petzl flashlight with a few spare batteries, iPod… damn, thats heavier than my main backpack. Not to even mention some duck tape, swiss knife and a few cans of pate for difficult times without meat 😉 And chargers for everything electrical, some handkerchiefs, … damn… list just goes on and on…

Anyway, in 24 hours i’ll be veeery close to Delhi… oh, well… another day sleeping around airports… :)))
