Nearly time for the off!

Well, time is ticking away and we are ready to go.  The tickets have arrived, the currency is here.....we have started to gather our bits and bobs ready to pack........oh joys!  Richard has invested in vacuum pack bags and has succeeded in packing EVERYTHING (so he tells me) in a small daysack with a total weight of 4.2kg.  Mmmmmm, now there's a challenge!  Maybe that means I carry all the heavy stuff!  I still can't decide whether to take my netbook or rely on my phone for posting blog updates.  The netbook has started to crash and the wifi is not reliable......will have to think on that some more.  Maybe I take both, then I have a back-up. Now.....do I take a rucksack.....or a case....or both!  HEEELLPPP!!!!

Almost ready for the off

Well, at last all the different elements of our trip have been finalised.  The Swiss Francs arrived this morning along with the Euros. 'Hopefully' the travel documents will arrive next Tuesday!

As far as we can tell, we've only made one 'tiny' mistake.......well, it was ME really.  I have booked us in to the Hotel Central in Basel, only to find that it must be one of THE worst in the country!!  Oh well, never mind, at least it's only one night.  With any luck we'll be so travel weary, that we will slip nicely into an alocohol induced deep sleep....ready for the early start in the morning!!  YIPPEEE....can't wait!
