I then wondered again if it was worth the trouble, but really (again), for the price of a bus ticket versus the money I had ...

Day two was much less complicated. After spending so much time yesterday on the bus, I felt much more confident in getting around using the system, and knowing when (and where) to get off. My morning goals were to find a place selling swimming trunks, and attempt to find an AC adapter for my laptop. Other than that, some more in depth exploration of Victoria seemed appealing enough. I walked down to the bus stop in the ...

This is a small island and most of the edge is beachlined so I was confident I ...
