A farm, a walk - and a bike

On Saturday I walked into the centre of Dan Shui, to see if I could buy a bike.



I started by walking through the resort I am staying in. This has a 'Farm' where vegetables are grown and there a few animals.



A few banana tress provide some fruit, and a large area covered in a black mesh is used to cultivate pot plants for decorating the accomodation.



I then walked into town. The shopping centre starts only about 15 mins walk from the resort, however the bike shop area was more like an hour and a half away (or 2 hours the way I went!). People seem to cross the road at all places with little concern.



And I bought myself a beautiful bike .. although a little small, at 6 foot I am considerably taller than any of the local population, so I have to accept that clothes shopping will be difficult, and bikes too small.
