Great advice. I wish we could get mineral water easily here in the US. Bottled water in Europe is available everywhere (convenience type stores) as just plain water, mineral water, or mineral water with "gas". I found the mineral water excellent for hydration on tour. Here (in the US) our bottled water options at convenience type stores are just spring waters (without minerals/electrolytes).
