Ok, some of you will say that aince I have done a trip through the major countries in Europe before. Why Would I want to do it again? The answer to that question is quite simple. Europe in Winter is a completely different experience from experiencing Europe in the Summer and after all the fun that was had in doing my Contiki trip through the Euoropean regions in 2007 (http://marsinlondoneurope.blogspot.com/) I thought it to be the right thing to experience this in Winter. This blog will be a collection of the journey through Europe and its leadup to departure... Be sure to check in frequently for new discoveries as we go..

Last Few Days ...

So its the last few days of slavery before the journey begins. Let's hope that our passports arrive on Monday afternoon as is originally planned, else the stress levels are going to become explosive...

Looking at the weather forecasts it would appear that it might be a good idea to get a hot jacket ... and maybe some other hot clothes ;-)  Just browsing the websites I think it will be much more cost effective to get some stuff upon arrival. Costed a jacket this morning at the shops ... Hmm ZAR1900... and can get it there for less than ZAR600. So I think It will be only essential bits that travel.. the rest will be obtained upon arrival.. Lets just hope we don't freeze before between the plane and the terminal building .. LOL.

I should probably start thinking about what to pack.. Packing is such an evil. I prefer travelling light.. with just the stuff I have one me... LOL ... ok now I know I am exaggerating..  Will start the packing tomorrow evening. Will make a list of all the essential bits that need to travel and tick them off one piece at a time as it makes it's way into my luggage.
