ReisenderYou left your blue fishing shirt in my car
ReisenderGood start to the trip. Had to find a fishing shop and get a new shirt. No you can't keep the other one :) They didn't have any 'normal' fishing shirts so I got a fishing hoodie instead. Had some nice travel rods as well but luggage is chockers.
