"Jeez...it didn't look like that much crap on my packing list..."
The white tube was intended to protect the poles during the flight to Sweden. I looked all over town trying to find one that was lighter and a smaller diameter, with no luck. Turns out even cut down to where the poles barely fit, the tube was too long to fit in the pack. But hey, at least I saved myself another 0.4lbs...
A dozen ziplock bags and plastic grocery sacks later, and it's all ready to go. The big pack weighs around 23lbs, the small pack around 15lbs...less than my 42lb estimate.
Inside our room in the Hostel Stara Polana. This was the first hostel I had ever stayed in, and it turned out okay. I had expected a skanky dorm, more like a crowded homeless shelter than a motel.
A common sight in Zakopane (as in Krakow): racks of Palestinian kaffiyeh look-alikes for sale on the street.
Hard to claim they're trendy fashion accessories that innocently just happen to coincidentally look like the Palestinian symbol of intifada and Jew-hatred, when the things are labeled "arafatki".
