Not even a hint of schadenfreude in this post - honest
If you think it's bad now, with all the gap year teens wondering why their grandad's got on the bus with them, just wait until you get to my age. If you go backpacking with a few years on the clock, and on your own, people think there's something wrong with you, that you're homeless or something. As you've probably found, walking with a backpack attracts every nutter and chancer within miles - especially if you're a bit older and look as if you might have some money.
Bet you wish you'd left half the stuff in the sack behind now!
