Finally, after our friends arrived from Lithuania, we have more or less everything that we might need (I really hope so).
So, what is travelling with us?
Here is our list
|
BIKES |
|
|
Surly Troll 16” and 18” |
After long searches in Kuala Lumpur (which, we thought, should
be easier - not so many options) we chose these Surly bikes - the
reviews were great and now we are really happy to have them. So
far and hopefully forever :) |

We both had S size, but Agnius lost his and I then I got a
bigger one as my neck gets tired after a night with the S one. |

Very happy to have this – pleasure to sleep in on hot tropic
nights |
|
Sea to summit compression drysacks |
Says waterproof, but not so waterproof.. |

MSR liquid fuel cooker |
We use clean alcohol to prevent the fuel line getting stuck –
more expensive, but always stays clean + no bad odours and enough
for quite long |

|
ASUS 1225c notebook, Macbook Air 13” |
Before we were travelling with ASUS, but everytime we had some
time, one computer was never enough as it is needed for all the
works. The final decision for a computer came when the screen of
ASUS got broken. We didn't mean to buy a Mac (and was always
ironic with people who are traveling with it) but the
recommendations and the price (same like ASUS Zenbook – I felt a
need for 13”) made me one of them :) |
