After reading recent and old discussions on securing your valuables and splitting cash into multiple locations, I decided to get a money belt. Originally the plan was to carry phone, passport, and credencial in my waist pack, with the passport and credencial together in one of Ivar's lovely passport sleeves - all the easier for presenting at the albergue. Should I try presenting a photocopy of my passport instead to albergues, and keep the real passport in the money belt? Will that be generally accepted? The scenario I don't want is to be digging into my money belt for the real passport while checking in, seems like a recipe for disaster.
