Goals for the day:

 So I finally figured out where I was roughly on my map.  I still lack a compass, but I was able to poiece together landmarks to discover my rough location.
 I decided to try my luck going to Paraiso , the largest city nearby.  

The Map study.

The Trip to Paraiso

On my way to Paraiso , I took a gamble searching a small complex of apartments.  I was in desperate need of something to drink.  I searched high and low , and finally discovered a water bottle hidden under a bed in an apartment.  Oh, how good that stale water tasted!
 Next on my way ... I fought like crazy to find some way to re-fill my bottle.  Non of the wells I came across, seemed to be operational.
 I passed a tobacco farm , and noticed a water tower ... I knew the residents of Sahrani had to drink, get water for thier crops ... so i climbed up the small tower, and YES! Water!  Now I've pretty much figured out how to stay hydrated ... I'd like to have another water bottle, but beggars can't be choosers.

 I made it to Paraiso with-out much incident.  
Other than the zombies, it has been eerily quiet around ...
 The Sign just outside the city , a real estate sign ... in english no doubt.  I wonder what the investors think about the zombie apocalypse, and thier time-shares lost.  

the real estate add

 It did make me wonder ... if back home, in the USA ... if my wife and kid are alive an dwell, if they got out or got to a survivor camp in time ... I tried not to dwell there, no time to be sad or angry , now I got water ... it's time to find some wheels for my Humvee.

 Pariso and beyond just a bit :

 It was a big city.  Not much in though.  All the shops I found were boarded up, just apartments, villas, and cabanas were open.  The big church was boarded up tight.  
 However, there were two industrial areas ...
YES!  So ... right off exploring the first one, I found a wheel.  In the same building, I also found an axe which I needed.
  The next set of industrial buildings , I discovered two fuel containers , some scrap metal , and another wheel. The gas cans were full, thankfully.  I didn't have enough room to carry everything at once , so I marked the location of the second wheel , and headed back towards the humvee.  
 
 Along the way, I examined somewhat of a junkyard ... low and behold , there was a zombie "mechanic" , holding a wrench, ... I buried my axe in his head.  Kind of creeped me out , he was bent over, looking as if he was trying to fix the wrecked cars.  
 The Mechanic Zombie

Took some time to fix up the humvee:

 I did some repairs, the scrap metal helped seal up the busted frame , got the first wheel on , only two more needed ... the wheel that was already on it, is a bit low, but I think if I get the other two tires on , it should drive just fine until I can find another.
 I dumped all the gas I could into it.  Got me a a bit over a quarter tank , more than I expected!

 Previously I already patched the fuel lines so they didn't leak, and replaced some engine parts.  Good thing I paid attention in shop class , though I'm really not much of a mechanic to speak of.  
Now , I knew where one wheel was , I didn't look forward to the long trek back to Paraiso , but I was eager to get the wheel and try to get this humvee derivable!  
 
Back to Paraiso industrial.

 The trip went un-eventful, I stopped along the way to drink and refill my water bottle again.  
Looking at my watch, it's late in the evening ... I'm not exactly sure what time it gets dark.   Luckily I found a flashlight, it has weak batteries, but will do in a pinch I think.  I have some flares , and a pack of chemlights just in case.  
 I've not spent a night yet, on the mainland ... just my first night on the beach.  I know by listening, more zombies come out at night , once the sun goes down.  I'd really like to get the wheel at least, and back before it gets dark.
 
 I got the wheel, and looked at my watch.  I can't tell if the sun is setting or if the clouds are blocking it currently.  
 But I took a gamble, and went an explored the airfield north of Paraiso.
 I came out fairly good , there was a military section there, I picked up an m4 ... I liked it better than the m16 , and I got a few more magazines. I found a silenced m9 , which I traded my makarov for.  Was almost out of ammo for the makarov anyways.  It served me well, but was time to upgrade a bit.
 I also found  a glock with a flashlight attached.  More light when it gets dark.

I made note , there was a couple windshield repair kits , and glass packs in another building.  
maybe, if I get the humvee running I'll swing buy and pick em up.  I don't care the windows are busted out ... but, well , once I'm driving it ... some windows between me and zombies might do some good.

Wrapping things up for the evening:

 I made it back to the humvee ...

 There's another survivor somewhere out there ... he speaks english somewhat.  He keeps saying he's lost , ... ha! I'm lost too technically.  With-out a location to go look, I have no clue where to start looking. This is  a big place.  Could be anywhere.  It' d be nice, to run across another living survivor though.

 But I made it back to the humvee , got the wheel on.   Just one more.  One more elusive wheel , and I can finally drive around, no more walking and running!  There's one port city far south on my map from my location.  I'm hoping it has some industrial to look in , hope I can find a wheel.
 Once I get some wheels ...
Then it'll be time to head to the bigger part of the island , and hopefully find  a place to make a camp or fortified base.

 The Humvee I discovered abandoned.
