Finding what I wanted in the supermarket
took a while longer. Many of the brands
are unfamiliar, but eventually I found most of what I needed. New World supermarkets seem to be the local
equivalent of Coles – I can recall the days of Coles New World supermarkets in
Oz. There is no shortage of products here, and if anything the range is better
than at home.
Next, a visit to a fishing tackle shop, to
pick up a few more shiny lures and pump the locals for fishing information –
and very helpful they were. I came a way with some goods tips and locations to
fish.
After surveying the route yesterday, I’ve
pretty well decided to take the train out of the city. My preference is to have
a few easy days at the start of a tour. A steep climb on the morning of the
first day invites a muscular injury and is to be avoided. So next stop the
railway station to make a booking, then a quick turn around the city centre
before returning to my room to assemble the bike.
The assembly went smoothly, and by
mid-afternoon the bike was ready, my gear organized and bike bag put in storage
until my return.
And since I’ve now been here for two
nights, it’s time I had some of those fush’n’chups.
