11/13/10 That night I was eating my fabulous dinner of rumen noodles and was going over the days events with John and Sarah. John had taken Sarah with to be a passenger on a sailing race that he was participating in.

I got a shuttle bus to take me down town and then I went and found a hostel, dropped off my stuff and went to do a little exploring.
