But earlier in the week (day 2 I think) Priska had decided that we were too loud and would probably get kicked out of the San Fran campsite so had organised us a bed ... read more

I've started the preparations for my trip to Asia. I got myself an Eagle Creek Explorer backpack and some supplies from REI. I found an awesome micro-fibre, quickdry towel and i've been testing it i've gotten some books and started reading.
