As a Tour manager, I know all about the difficulties in some hotels maybe/maybe not supplying complementary tea and coffee in guest rooms, so I always carry a travel kettle in my suitcase. They take up so little room, and inside the kettle there is room for a cup, tea bags, dried milk and sugar/sweetners ( and on a good day a Mars bar :@) Having my own supply removes the possibility of a disappointment. And it's funny, now I've chosen to carry this, I find less and less call for it as most the hotel rooms have it as standard. Be sure to carry a European travel adaptor plug though, for everything from the kettle to recharging your mobile phone. Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteAfter yesterday's 'kettle' entry, I thought I would list anything that I consider essential packing over and above the usual needs. And these extras I have discovered only after experience!
ReplyDeleteA copy of PASSPORT NUMBER, and CREDIT CARD NUMBERS ( PINs having been committed to memory and never written down ). Also a copy of TRAVELLERS CHEQUE NUMBERS just in case they are stolen/lost ( remember to delete number after encashment of each cheque ). Many capital or regional capital cities have banks linked to Britsih banks, so a copy of your home banking numbers won't hurt just in case of an emergency.
A small first aid kit containing; plasters, crepe bandage, safety pins, asprin and a good antiseptic cream. Also a note of all or any medication you may be taking.
International travel plug. Most hotels have some at reception, but their numbers are limited and may all be out on loan. Easy to buy in W. S. Smiths and motorway services. If borrowing one from the hotel expect to pay a deposit.
Mobile phone recharger.
Battery recharger for digital cameras. Film, by the way, is still really easy to find in Europe, but memory cards aren't!
Insect repellent. Not a 'must have' in Western Europe really, but it may be handy.
Phrase book of the pricipal country I am visiting.
A sense of humour! Things can be so different to what I expect when travelling. In the end I just have to laugh it off.
Taking a look at that list I reckon I could squeeze most of that out of the way in my kettle too!
Happy travels.
