Preparing the trunks

To transport all my equipment, I can pack three trunks of 40 kg max each.

There will be no store on the island of course, so I really need to make sure nothing gets forgotten. A real challenge to pack for 14 months !!

These trunks will travel to the island from France by boat. I need to pack my things in waterproof bags and bin bags, so make sure they don't get wet on the trip.

I get to fill out these very cool scientific stickers and stick them on on each trunk !

After major shopping trips and many hours packing it all up, my trunks are all ready to go !

Off they go off to Brest, where they will be sent to le Havre and then to la Réunion and finally Amsterdam island.

Funny feeling to wave off the trunks - see you on the island in a few months !
