Well life's like that!

OK so 2 months into our trip with little problem is probably asking too much, sonot really unexpected that at some stage we would encounter some problem.  So we have!  Unfortunately both of us at the same time have hit the unhealthy wall,  Chris has developed Hoi An belly and has suffered quite vigorous attack of the runs, thanks to Dave Brook and his contact who gave him advice on a quick remedy she tried it out and things have improved fairly quickly, the tip was to boil up some coke, ( not the stuff you see on Miami vice) let it cool and drink, this apparently then clears out all the bugs in one go and then you can concentrate on getting better.  So it seems to have done the trick and she is now much better although wind has been an after affect so watch out, the results may hit Britain in about a week - take cover!

I developed a hurty leg after our flight from Samui and it got progressively worse until we arrived at Hoi An when I knew I needed attention, so after several trips to the docs and one trip to the hospital I now have enough tablets to supply the whole of Asia, and am having to rest my leg much of the day so that it improves,  we had to cancel our plans to visit Hue as I was advised not to travel till it had improved, so we moved hotels in Hoi An and are remaining here for another 3 days until we fly to ho chi Mhin city and stay with Emma Sheppard who is currently teaching there for a 2 year period, so that will be good to see her and to have a sort of home from home rather than living out of bags in hotels which is not always as relaxing as it sounds especially when your not 100%.  So I hope it continues to improve so we can see more than the inside of our hotel, we have been our for a couple of hours this morning and am resting before another session of sight seeing later, it is a pretty little place here, so all being well we move on Saturday and we will have to play it by ear from then on depending on my condition then, - getting old really is a bugger! Still onwards and upwards.
