Rock Foot File |
Bought in Egypt to fix
the cracks on our feet. |
|
|
| What
we learned quickly learned that our backpacks were too heavy. Right away in Prague we sent home some
stuff. |
|
| One
learns one does not need much. Our
main problem is carrying the computer and cameras. Along with all the cables |
|
| they
take up that a lot of extra weight and space.
We were also thinking of sending back the tent, but have decided
we |
|
| are
going to keep it. Another problem is
that we have equipment and clothing for all different types of weather and
climates. |
|
| We
are constantly searching for ways to reduce our backpack's weight. |
|
|
| In
Prague we sent back 3 kilos and in -istanbul another 10.5 kilos. We also bought very light sleeping bags in
Istanbul |
|
| and sent our other sleeping
bags home. |
|
|
| Just
to update, in Jordan we sent another
10 Kilos between us. Maren also bought
a new smaller pack. It makes the world
of difference |
