1) Pass, but I would have thought there would be loads around there, depends how far your willing to travel.
2) If your planning on doing more then one triathlon you might as well buy a wettie, you get what you pay for, cheap will fit poorly and you will be replacing it in no time. They don't have to cost the earth but make sure its a swimming one and not a windsurfing/diving one.
If you know what size fits you, ebay is always a good bet.
