Sorry to read this, Chris. Hopefully this does not put you off future travels. We're lucky that we can usually take our safety (as men) for granted when solo trekking. Perhaps that one extra beer gave you the courage to offer the resistance you did. In any case, glad you escaped with minimal harm.
missed this post till you made a reference to it from the newest newsletter. good to hear that it was only a few replaceable things that were taken (minus the cash). i once had a small bag which held my passport stolen stealthily inside a cafe in Stockholm. was lucky that i had enough time to get an emergency temporary passport created from the US embassy that it didn't change any of my further travel plans, especially since i was with my parents at the time, too.
Chris, so sorry to hear this happened. Kudos to you on your still positive and adventurous spirit despite this terrible event.

Sorry to hear what happened to you, glad you weren't seriously hurt. Good to have you back in one piece
