Answer 1

I suggest you leave your cell phone and your CD player and your MP3 player at home. There is much to see and do; having all these things will isolate you from it.

July is winter, so plan to take layered clothing, enough for variety, but enough to keep you comfortable from the weather. A single polypro jersey weighs nothing and is totally versatile. Washes/dries in minutes. No heavy clothes or jackets, but do plan for rain. Keep it simple and don't fall into the trap of thinking you *must* fill up the one suitcase!
