When this old world starts getting me down…. Etc.

Just before I picked up the bike I decided I’d check out the rooftop of the local department store. There’s a coffee shop, zoo (yes, really!) & a viewing deck where you can see the sea and the hills. I’m glad I did.

What a marvellous place to chill out, with authentic New York cheesecake and hot coffee. (Not iced!). It was just what I needed before tackling the dreaded customs people – who actually turned out to be very helpful!

I took this panorama looking towards the hills. Pollution makes the viewing a bit hazy, but it’s still very nice. See if you can spot the toilets. Great signage!
