Here's what I took, in case some of you are interested how it worked out:

- rain jacket
- trekking pants, two pairs of jeans, one pair of shorts
- trekking shoes, sneakers, Birkenstock sandals
- 5 shortsleeved tees, 2 longsleeved tees, 2 camisoles, 1 cardigan
- 2 pairs of hiking socks, three pairs of normal socks, other underwear
- PJs doing double duty as lounge wear
- fleecesweater
- camerabag
- 1 thin scarf

I wore the rain jacket all the time, we had just a few days were it was warm and dry enough to leave the jacket off occasionally. The jacket was great and kept me dry. The trekking pants and shoes were a godsend too. Because the weather was so wet I was glad to have the two pairs of jeans too, that way I always had dry options. I did wear the trekking pants most of the time though, because they were so much more comfortable wet and quick to dry. I didn't really need the sneakers and wore the trekking shoes most of the time, because they kept my feet dry and cozy. The normal socks weren't therefore needed either, but that could have been different with warmer weather. Same for the shortsleeved tees, I definitely packed too many. I mostly wore them layered under the fleece pullover and I didn't wear the cardigan a lot. And I wore the new fleece constantly. So glad I bought it! I also needed my camis everyday, so it would have been nicer to have ones that would have dried faster - I did wash them in the sink, same as the socks. The scarf was nice to have, but I could have done without it. The camera bag was very useful and I'm glad I did buy that one. I didn't need the shorts at all (#9 was no shorts weather, I just felt I had to wear them at least once), but the sandals were very useful. I always wore them inside as slippers.

All in all I'm a bit sick of navy right now, but it did work out great.
