I'd take the Tokina. I miss mine, it was always on my 60D, but won't work on the 6D. I'd love the new L series 11-24 mmhttp://www.canon.co.uk/for_home/product_finder/cameras/ef_lenses/zoom/ef_11_24mm_f4l_usm/

Tokina would suit your style better, the wide architectural shots you take are excellent. Then again, the 11-55 is so light...

Sorry for lack of updates, been manic here.

Right, I've seen sense and I'm taking the DSLR and I'm taking the tokina as I can't readily find the kit lens. I'm also taking the 50mm F1.8, might prove silly but that bit of zoom might prove handy at some point (and it weighs 4/5ths of bugger all)

I've got the tripod in the case at the moment. I'll hop on the scales and see if I'm getting close to any limits. I've packed a dinky tabletop tripod which will likely serve most things if I try hard enough. I've got two batteries and two 8gb cards. That should easily see me through the entire trip.

Gonna be a long day tomorrow,
Starts at
03:50 when my alarm goes off,
04:40 I get picked up by the taxi,
06:30 at the airport, fly at
09:30 9hrs flight (close enough that I don't remember any more accurately)
14:30 land! wait, what? we've been up for 14.5 hours and it's only early afternoon?!
This could be interesting
