Hi, no need for the clothesline. Only need capris for walking. I would take the sarong and leave the dress. Sarong and top is great for sleeping. Suggest lighter sleeping bag. Crocs cleo sandals instead of TevasI set off in a week, and this is what I am planning to take at the moment. If you see any glaringly obvious omissions, or places to shave off weight, I'd like to receive your constructive criticism.

Hi, no need for the clothesline.
This is good to see, I was planning on bringing one but started to doubt that I'd actually need it. I also have one of the braided clothesline with bunjee hooks on the ends.A clothesline was actually something that I used quite often after my daily wash of socks, underwear, shirt and shorts. Really helpful when there was nothing else available.
Hi everyone
I'm planning to set off within the next few weeks also, was really helpful to see your list! - was just wondering, there are a few things that I'd really appreciate any feedback on..
Firstly, at this time of year, is a fleece really needed? Also, I wasn't planning on taking a sleeping bag... just a silk liner. And, are dri-fit type material for tops okay (instead of merino)? Or, is merino better? I also wasn't planning on bringing any long pants.. just 2 pairs of dri-fit material shorts... Or, is better to have long pants also..? I'm just thinking it will likely be so hot?!
Some other things I'm undecided about (taking) that I noticed you'd left off are:
washing powder/liquid (for clothes)
swiss army knife
drink bottle(s)
waterproof plastic sleeve thing- for passport etc (necessary for when showering?) - after reading some other threads..!
towel, or do ppl not generally bring towels..? or if you do, what size? - i've noticed the travel ones have S, M, L etc...
Thank you in advance!

A clothesline is not very heavy nor does it take up much room in your pack. I know i was glad i had one with me a few times.
