I have been trying really hard to keep track of all my stuff. On the whole I have done pretty well for 11 countries, and 60 different hostels so far.
This is what slipped thru-
1. Sunglasses (broke - Mexico)
2. DIY Camera mount on bike (vital bit fell off - Mexico)
3. Toothbrush (Costa Rica)
4. Watch (Panama City hostel)
5. Padlock (Panama City hostel)
6. ATM card (!) (Bogota Intl. Airport ATM)
7. Floppy hat (Colombia)
8. Camera mount #2, broke on long dirt road (S. Colombia)
9. 2 important bolts, fell out after long rough dirt road (S. Colombia)
10. Side stand weld broke almost completely, same dirt road (S. Colombia)
11. Luggage frame bracket weld snapped ... yep, same dirt road (S. Colombia)
12. Toothbrush #2, (Equador)
13. 1 important bolt lost, after long rough dirt road (N. Peru)
14. Sunglasses #2 (Central Peru)
15. To be continued I am sure ....
Oh, and I got SUPER lucky with my phone - I was using it to navigate and it was in a clear window section on the top of my tank bag, which I had forgot to zip shut after I had just checked it. A few miles down the road I came to a busy 2 lane tunnel with a gravel road in it, and in the darkness I felt something tapping my right thigh. I felt with left hand, and found phone - stopped from disappearing into the void only by the charging cable attaching it to the bike! (S. Equador)
