Madeira Park again...

So, here I am in Madeira Park. Again. For another 5 days. Here are some more things I found out about Madeira Park:

1. No one sells towels. I forgot my towel so I thought 'well, I'll just have to buy one.' But really, no one sells them. 'hmmmm... towels' says the cashier, 'nope. You can't get those here in Madeira Park.' What kind of town doesn't sell towels!?!?

2. Construction starts at 0730. Blasting to follow at 0800. Blasting is loud. And, it shakes whatever building you are in.

3. The locals aren't too fond of you referring to the town as "Mad Park." Really guys, I wasn't implying anything about you!

4. There are no good places to land a hovercraft. If you are ever hurt in Madeira Park and it is too stormy to land a helicopter. Well, darn, you are stuck with us until the storm lifts or you die from your injury. Pretty crappy hey?

I really want to go home.
