Shopping

I'm now the proud owner of an Osprey 70L backpack (green, 2.27kg(!)). I hope it will serve me well, and I've got a new tent, the Exped Vela 1 which was quite a bargain really, a rare single import.
I didn't expect to find a tent at all, apparently it's very hard to find a good (or at all) single person tent in Israel.
I also picked up a few other items: a compass, an ultralight towel, a radiant-yellow cover for my backpack and a spork - from Maslul, awesome shop in Tel-Aviv. The Salesperson was a cute red-headed girl (big plus).
I had a good feeling about this shop, guess I was right.

They have arrived!

Only 3 days by (The Royal) airmail.
I love receiving packages and especially by airmail.
Casually reading through the both of them I think I made a really good buy.
The maps are 1:20000 and are hand drawn to tell the story of the trail.
Both guides contain information about everything one might need (from hiking gear to sleeping arrangements) to know. The PW guide even has GPS waypoints.
Tomorrow I'm going to look and compare backpacks at Kalgav.


and for now it looks like I have some reading to do.
