Packed already?

Well, that certainly went a lot easier than I anticipated. The total weight of my carryings seems to be pretty much 15kg. Kind of light and easy, especially since I can fit my smaller day pack inside my rucksack so the whole weight can be easily carried with no fighting with extra straps or anything. It is really starting to feel like the trip is about to start...

Only problem I have faced packing was that I forgot my travel towel to a friends house. And should one still need to emphasize the importance of a towel, I shall hereby quote the ever-amusing text of Douglas Adams:

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

But fear not, I will just have to make a small detour and my set is complete. :)
