Hate to think how much it would have cost in NZ. But so much cheese ...

We found an Internet Cafe!
... yet, according to the looks we keep getting from people). We ate a quick lunch of ham and cheese open faced sandwiches and I had some dark ale that was on tap.
Then we spent hours trying to perfect the art of finding water. You have no idea how difficult it was to find a bottle of water WITHOUT GAS (not club soda).
We found the Town Under the Town tour, which took us underneath the Basilica. There is a labyrinth ...
