More Equipment





 Back in Germany on a rainy day, perfect for shopping at the outlet center of globetrotter. Had two great hours of exploring, chatting and consulting with one of the nice salesmen, all with their own outdoor and traveller experience. Found some great deals, but especially I found some very useful and handy items I still needed from my packing list. I now just need a few more items and then I will have everything assorted.

You will probably never guess what is inside of all those neat and handy packages on the picture, so this is what I found from the left to the right: 1. Rain poncho 2. Sleeping mask 3. Mosquito net for two, there are nets with a bottom, but I just took a net in a pyramide shape you have to hang over your bed on a nail or hook and squeeze it under your mattress or sleeping bag at the bottom 4. A sleeping bag, actually a silk sleeping bag inlet with integrated insect coverage. Took silk rather than cotton, because it better absorbs the humidity and doesn´t has to be dried for long. It will be hot, so I don´t need a warm cover and if, I can wear clothes inside 5. A traveller towel, a really cool item that feels and looks like a leather cloth for your car. It dries quickly and can be used several times. I always wanted to feel like my BMW, what a great experience 6. A traveller pillow, actually this is luxury and extra weight, but I couldn´t not grab one of them from the store shelf, although the salesman was trying hard to persuade me not to :-) 7. some special travel wallets, one that you can hide as a secret pocket so I can separate my cash from important documents 8. a traveller lock and 9. a hard cover for my sunglasses.

Of course I had to check all the items and try them out. So here is a picture of the wizard of Asia. He wants to say congratulations to Air Asia. The company just won the Skytrax Award "World´s best low-cost airline" for the fourth year in a row. Happy to travel with them!
