Packing

Light jacket, rather than track top/spray jacket

more undies and socks. Can never have enough. Minimises need for laundry

Shirts that have a pocket. For camera. Wallet in pants

Trousers, not jeans - lighter and cooler than jeans.

I didn't need to pack - 2 x RFS shirts to swap with Vigile Fuocca or Sampiers des Succours. Never did get that close to them. Only time I did (in Aix) I did not have it with me.

Socceros scarf. Weather did not call for it, and who cares about the socceroos.

2 x soccer shirts (Socceroos, Sydney). Not the events to swap and who cares about Australia and Sydney? Useful as talking point only.

1 x bike rain jacket

2 x jumpers (thin and less thin) Weather was great, and could have got away with one anyway.

1 x extra pair of shoes. 2, not 3

1 x jiffies. This is not Japan

Binoculars. Use them once, not really needed

Board shorts - only if intending to swim.

How did Veronica fit all her stuff into that small bag. At Sydney check-in - was asked did she have another bag!
