Forget that laptop !!
Im nearly 2 months into my South America trip now and already have a list of things id wished Id left and things id wished Id brought. At the top of that list is my laptop. Its heavy, fragile and takes up way too much space. Its going home asap. Fun for music and vids when bored but really not worth it.
Ortlieb wash bag.. Every smart German owns one. Makes washing your clothes while camping very easy.
Travel sink Plug: All hotel rooms and sink in campsite DONT have plugs. Pain in the arse when you need to wash clothes or have a bath.. Buy a big and a small one (Ebay it now, you will thank me)
Spare Nuts and bolts and locktite.. I brought some but not enough. Bits are rattling and falling off already and I dont have bolts to replace them. GRRRRRR, very frustrating.
TYRES !! DO NOT GO TO SOUTH AMERICA WITH ROAD TYRES AND EXPECT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME........ I left my knobblies in the UK by mistake and regret it sooo much. Sure you can do it but so much is left untouched and a bit of ripio can ruin your day.
