Hi Gram,
I’m feeling much better today. Luckily it seems to have just been food poisoning or something. My stomach has a strict policy of “if you don’t pass the test, you leave the way you came in” and kept the bad food from going any further. It sucks because it ejects all the nutrients I’d eaten along with the poison, so I was worn out for the whole day. I woke this morning, took some pain meds for the aches, and had a pineapple crepe for breakfast. Just what I needed!
After breakfast, Dash and I walked into town looking for a SIM card for them, but we struck out. We’ll have to wait until we get back to the main island to top off their cellular data and get me a charger for my laptop while we’re at it. We got back to the hotel, took a quick shower, then went for massages. Every massage I’ve gotten here has been wonderful. We went to the spa across the street from our hotel and let me tell ya – getting a massage then stumbling 100 feet back to my cabana was a new high for me. I walked in, took another shower to wash away the oils, and took a nap. Once I woke up, we were all hungry again, so we walked down to Kevin’s Warung about a km away.
The food was decent and the walk did us good. I ordered fried noodles with chicken and was pleased that I have my appetite again and was able to eat most of it. The rest of the day was pretty calm and boring, getting some stuff done online and mostly resting. Tomorrow, we head back to Bali mainland and get to Ubud where we plan to stay for the next week until we fly out.
