passport
bikini (scored at H&M sale for € 3,50)
sunscreen factor 50
Ray Ban (seems to be the best investment of 2010; bought out of boredom, during an 'ash cloud' delay at London airport)
a small library
Mr. Hook (you never know)
map of Crete
lots of good courage (for there is no drop of fuel left on the greek island and we need to drive with a rental car from the airport to holiday destination)
