Last Minute Stuff

Finally the bag is packed, and it's the last night at home for some time.
So, what do I pack for 5 months, a 3,000km walk and every possible weather option?
My back pack is 38 litres, so not much.
Clothing consists of :
1 pr shorts
2 merino t-shirts (usually only 1)
1 long sleeve merino t-shirt
1 down jacket
1 waterproof jacket ( so hard to get one that doesn't weigh too much)
1 merino sleeveless top
6 prs socks. This seems extravagant but I have decided to wear 2 prs at a time to hopefully prevent blisters. Underneath are Injinji toe socks and top layer, coolmax fine liner socks.
1 pr long merino leggings
1 sun hat + 1 woolly hat for the cold days
1 neck buff + ski gloves
1 pr Keen sandals with toe protection which I could walk in all day if I have to.
1 pr light weight walking shoes (this is a luxury I may regret)
1 pr Keen Targhee II hiking boots.
Toiletries:
1 bar soap for washing everything
Moisturiser with sunscreen
No shampoo - hair is very short
Leave-in conditioner to protect from sunshine (lots I hope)
Toothbrush & small tube toothpaste
Sandalwood oil - healing, antibacterial & it smells better than ti-tree.
Antifungal cream -(lots of communal showers)
Vaseline for feet
Deodorant
First-Aid:
Opsite & Steri strips
Fixomull Tape
Tweezers & needle & thread
Betadine
Tiny pot of Thars ointment
Voltaren Cream
Non-stick wound dressings & a couple of silver impregnated elastoplasts.
Space blanket
Cold sore Cream - hopefully no bed bugs but better to be prepared
Pain killers & Antihistamines
Fold-up scissors
Hydralyte sachets
1 tube PawPaw ointment
Miscellaneous:
Down sleeping bag
Silk liner
Pillowcase - all treated with Permethrin to repel bed bugs
Guide books - oh they do weigh too much so will have to ditch them as I use them
Swiss Army Knife
Head torch & whistle (that's for attracting attention)
Waterproof back pack cover
1 emergency pocket sized poncho

Everything is packed into zip-lock bags of various sizes to keep them dry because no matter how much waterproofing is applied back packs always let the rain in somewhere.
Together with my back pack I wear a waist bag which holds my water bottle, sunglasses, reading glasses, passport, phone, swiss army knife, tissues, muesli bar, and of course my Pilgrim Passport.
My accommodation is booked through Holland and Belgium which is somewhat reassuring because it was quite difficult to get some places to answer emails after digging and delving to get the web contact.
it would appear that most people who walk this way are from nearby so make reservations only by phone. Thanks go to my friend Janny who made several bookings for me. We will walk together for 3 days in Holland.
Time to finish this one and go to bed. So goodnight, bon soir and tot ziens.
