Thailand Day 9: Down for the count

Remember how I said that the spicy basil chicken was a bad idea? Well, it was a lot worse that I originally thought. I was up most of the night last night with food poisoning. 🙁 After a night of sleeping in the bathroom tub, I was finally able to get back into bed and rest for a bit. I ended up sleeping most of the day, because it’s really all that I had the energy to do.

Deb spent the day at the pool, and reading outside on the patio, so she said it wasn’t all that bad of a day. I just wish that I hadn’t wasted the day, especially with so little of the trip left. Unfortunately, though, it was really out of my control. Lesson learned: don’t eat lukewarm food from a street vendor.

I started feeling a little bit better in the early evening, took a shower, and headed out. I could only stomach a little Jasmine tea at first, so that’s what I had. After walking around a bit longer, I thought that I might be able to eat something. I had a pizza, and that seemed to be okay with my stomach. Overall, though, I didn’t really get to do much today. My only hope is that tomorrow will be better, since we are scheduled to go on a private island-hopping tour!
