Journal: I got up at 8:30am and had breakfast at the restaurant.  I passed the morning writing, watching TV and shopping.  I again had a lunch of micro-waved salad rolls and enjoyed an afternoon of sports watching on TV – baseball, bike racing and the first World Cup soccer match.  The latter reminded me that one cost of this trip will be missing the Cup matches (as well as the Commonwealth Games).  At about 5:00pm, Stu, Greyhound (Tom) and Patti turned up, having seen my boots outside of my room.  It was good to see and talk to them and we later had a pleasant dinner together in the restaurant.  They all decided to spend the night on a nearby lawn where they had been given permission to camp.  I spent the remainder of the evening watching a few crummy TV programmes and packing for a quick getaway tomorrow.
