Off to Barcelona end of April/beg of May, Temp should be 18/19 degrees. To save money on flights we have booked 1 hold bag between 2 plus hand luggage so we need to pack carefully.....

I deffo need:
Swimming stuff (hotel has a spa)
Gym stuff (and a gym...)
evening clothes and day time sight seeing clothes....

It's teh shoes that will get me, I will try to take too many and I know I can't....

DrNortherner · 21/03/2010 17:34

I have a trench coat from GAP but it's quite heavy. My waterproof attire is all outdoor exercise stuff apart from a Yellow poncho from blackpool pleasure beach.

ok
another reason for cloe toe shoe option too really.
you want some sport ballerina shoes i fear

cyb · 21/03/2010 17:37

I wouldnt bother with the gym stuff! You can go to David Lloyd any old time! Why waste a weekend in Barcelona doing tricep dips?

DrNortherner · 21/03/2010 17:37

I just need a little time to get my head around that. My friends will mock I know they will.

DrNortherner · 21/03/2010 17:40

I need to chack what they will wear, but one of my mates does not own a single pair of flat comfy shoes. She will most probably teeter around in VERY high stripper like shoes.

take a fold up brolley - it is mostly showers if it rains and you are going to be far to hot in a culumbo mac

If it rains you stop and have a drink or go to the rambles and have a mooch in the market

Beware very much of pick pockets - they will be everywhere

so do take a little cash out and keep your cards etc very safe

vinauchocolat · 21/03/2010 17:47

I would advise

comfy flats, as small as possible- so comfy ballet pumps, for example

smartish flipflops

high heels, if you like, or alternatively pretty flats

jeans-for day to evening

day tops

evening tops

blazer

dress- for day to evening

NO GYM CLOTHES OR SHOES

NO YELLOW PONCHO

vinauchocolat · 21/03/2010 17:50

Oh yes, beware of open top bags, or handbags that are insecure in some way, and backpack-type bags. I went and had my passport and wallet cut out of a backpack without me even noticing!

cyb · 21/03/2010 17:50

thats too much IMO vin

I reckon

clean undercrackers
jeans, thats it for bottoms
flats for sightseeing
heels for evening out
blazer for flight
brolly
fab earrings/necklace
MAX 3 tops, 2 plain daytime, one evening
