Did not do too much today.  Went for a walk down town, had a bite to eat and checked to see if there was any more mail (no luck).  We had another ice cream and then went wine shopping.  We picked out a number of bottles so that we would be stocked up for the next leg of the trip.  Lars took them back to the hotel on the Metro while Jacqui went shopping (they have great shopping here).

The afternoon was then spent relaxing and working on journals.  That evening we went out for a group meal.  Another chance to get to know the new members of the group.  We went to a Chinese restaurant - nothing special.  The usual problem with Chinese restaurants outside of Asia - it becomes too bland and plain.  But it was good to get to meet some of the new people.  But we find out over dinner that there are some problems with the Priscilla, our truck.  She has a sheared bolt in the gear box that needs fixing.  We will be hitching a ride with an Exodus truck (which itself had broken down and was trying to catch up with its group).  When we finished, a few of us raced off to get some ice cream.  The good place had closed, so we had to settle for second best.
