a bit of a packing-list

The basics remain the same, but we found a tent that is both lighter, smaller (packed) and at the same time more spacious when set up. Wow.

I returned to using an inflatable cushion to make room for the charging-unit.
and because we could not agree to have 2 bikes with the same battery, there will be a charger EACH. Talk about high-tech...
A warmer sleeping-bag (down to 10°C, last time it was a tad cold at two nights)
wet-wipes and a small shovel from gardening will be a nice addition to the toilet-paper
no kettle but a pot with lid, will serve as plates, too. (Pot stores teabags, gas-burner, foldable cups, detergent and a small washcloth)
no milk-powder, coffee-grounds and drip - tea-bags will do.

not only canned sausage and bread will be on board, some instant-noodles as well because we read of several travellers who found zilch food for dinner.

Bike lamps as dual-use-goods: off-label stablights
Flip-flops
heavy-duty knock-em-stiff bike-locks
1 pair of warm socks
1 warm sweater

The backpack that holds the water-bladder will be a larger one to accommodate the noodles :) Since I would be carrying one anyway, i decided for my  daily commute-backpack.
