Wednesday 29th August

I decided to do a full pre-pack today, mainly to see what the weight of the luggage is. 

It came in at 16.4kg on both sets of bathroom scales and only 15.5kg on the hand held luggage scales, so I'm happy with either weight.  I then decided that I really didn't need to take a pair of sneakers, so they are now back in the wardrobe.
