Having never traveled overseas to anywhere other than between NZ, Australia and Fiji, I didn’t pack properly. Took way too much stuff, some of which I dumped in a rubbish bin and some of which I posted home at a horrific expense.

Being a book lover I picked up some fantasic history books in London which then of course also had to be posted home as we were only at the start of our trip and I didn’t fancy lugging books all round Europe.

My advice to anyone going to London and Europe is to take as little as possible, there are plenty of Laundromats to do your washing, and it keeps the weight down to a manageable level. Especially when you have to lug cases up many flights of stairs.

Believe me you soon learn what is essential and what can be done away with.
