I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

Oscar Wilde

Down the last bit of packing before heading to the train station. Trying to decide which book to take with me. I’ve owned ‘Following the Equator’ for years. It’s been the book I only read when I’m away from home. So I haven’t picked it up in quite awhile. I have gotten involved in reading the Greek classic though, and it just feels like the book for this trip. My first reaction when the new luggage arrived was ‘ too big’ ? But I see it is the perfect size for this trip. Clothes on the left, hiking gear on the right.
