November 8th - Day 0

Packing, packing, packing...

What's the first thing people ask you the day before you go on vacation or a trip of some kind... have you packed? Knowing that I will be carrying my backpack around most of the time, I have tried really hard to keep it to a bare minimum... 12 kilos was the best I could do! Plus, this pretty heavy laptop I'm using to write this blog! Altogether, I have about 16 kilos and I will, undoubtedly dump a few things along the way! How did I pack so much? Ly has managed to keep her bag to 8kg, perfect for this kind of trip! She can even fit it as hand-luggage making life so much easier... what will be the first thing that I'm gonna dump? :)

Time to head to the airport. Everything is set to go, I have farewelled my parents and we're now seating in front of the gate to go to London. This is the moment I had been dreaming for the past months... and that moment had finally come! Yeeeeeeeeeeeah! I actually should try to leave the laptop at home and be totally disconnected but... nah, I wanna share this with you :)
A lot of thoughts run through my head: how's it all like, where will we sleep, how are we going from point A to B and I quickly try to calm myself down and just relax and enjoy the moment! After all, for the next 3 months I'm a backpacker and backpackers don't stress out!

After a little nap, we're finally in London and try to grab some sleep... I'm far too excited! I got 4 hours of sleep...
