Recovery 3

I felt better than last night when I woke, but still not great. After going out in the morning to buy a replacement bite-valve for my drinking system, I found a couple of bookshops, and picked up two Tom Clancy's for 40c each – bargain!

I spent most of the rest of the day reading one of them, and relaxing at the hostel, resting. I did however make enquires about busses to Freycinet National Park, as I was considering going there first, before the Walls of Jerusalem, since Zinta was still sick. The busses only seemed to run weekdays, which suited me, since I didn't yet feel up to going, and could do with the two or more days rest.
