Julian, even though money for equipment not be the object for your  trip, 
don't spend any for cameras or lenses. Take what you already know works  
well, 
your M with a 35mm and your R with a 50mm plus as much film as you can  
comfortably carry. Remember, too, that if you're only going to be carrying 
with  you 
one camera at a time, you will need to think about where you can safely  
leave 
the other camera.
   Actually, since you mention that focusing might be a problem  -- and 
Leicas are so reliable -- you really don't need a back-up. Take just the  R 
and 
either a 35mm or a 50mm plus lots of film.
   Use the extra space in your camera bag for a UV filter, a  hood and a 
light meter [and, maybe, a sandwich and soda.] Borrow someone else's  tripod 
to 
get into your photos. -- Bon Voyage! bob  cole
