Proud owner of a brand new hot red backpack

What a boring day, somehow! Nothing much happening around Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz in the rain (see pic). Lots of calls, then I met Gabiberlin from HC, who actually lives just down the road from my place. NOT boring to meet this nice woman after all those months of either me or her or both of us traveling. We should and will more often. She's a teacher and loves traveling (of course) and hosting, and we might go on well together.
Then in the afternoon the long awaited call: my backpack has been delivered, and I can go and fetch it at the "Globetrotter" shop. Which I did after having fetched the more than 400 pics I took during my last two months' trip. Ahhhhh! Those memories!
This time I will be more lucky and take pics with my digi camera. Sami had brought me the recharger I had left in his kitchen in Riihimäki. So it should work, for a change...
And - yup - now I'm the oh-so-proud owner of a superduper brandnew hot red backpack, meant for daytrips or hiking thru the mountains for a week or so. And I'll use it for my two months' trips to Venezuela and on. Hah!
I wonder what to do with my pocketknife, if I only travel with handluggage, though. Hmmm....
Oh, right, something else did happen actually: Edubrazil and Leialel invited me to come over to Brazil. Now these guyz (Leialel is a woman, but still) had been asking me over so often now, and they really seem to mean it. I'll miss out on meeting Leiealel in Europe, she's coming over this month for a trip around the Baltic, and will actually be in Helsinki, Tallinn and Riga, at times when I won't. Sigh. But still: Brazil ain't that far from Venezuela, is it?
