Well today I have packed. I managed to get it done and carry no more then 14 kg. I hope that I will not miss something essential. I even got a bikershelmet from my daughter. I love it. It's groovy and looks professional. I still need to pack my gloves and a saddlepen (I don't even know what it is) but Maria purchased these for me on Saturday so I will find out at the Airport.
Now a couple of last little items to do, such as ready the manual of my brand new camer. After going through the first couple of funtionalities I am convince that I bought myself a great little camera. Only a couple of remarks: it's not giving me a great result practising the wide angel in my appartment ! But I am sure that the wide angle views of Vietnam and Angkor Wat that I plan to take, will be breathtaking.
I hope I will be able to have a good night sleep with all the excitement building up.
Well we are 1 day nearer to the start. I got a phone call from Lucienne, one of the participants who I don't know. We had a nice chat and are both really excited to leave. I had bought a new camera and was planning on reading the manual this weekend but forgot it in Brussels. So this will be for Sunday evening and yes I follow my own advise : if all else fails try reading the f*** manual!
The start is getting nearer. Next week Tuesday I will be on my way to Saigon. We are a group of 8 people for this adventure. I know Maria and Fernand and Palmyre. I went skiing with them in January. I will meet and greet the others at the airport.
I started preparing for this at the end of August and spent minimum 5 hours a week at the gym with my personal trainer. I think that I am ready to go now.
Alfons, one of the participants,sent us a summary of the trip with beautiful pictures. I am attaching it.
