Sick as a Dog

OK, so yesterday I felt like a bit of a cold coming on and well I've gone into a full blown fever/flu. It's horrible because we've finally made it to the beach resort and I'm sick. Crappy.

Last night I had a serious fever and I thought to myself... this is it I'm done for. Ok, ok, that's a bit dramatic. My fever is coming back just as I'm typing this blog. I feel a bit delirious. Yesterday we rented bikes in Dalat City and I was so sick that I dropped my bike. Scary. Oh well, maybe I'll try again when I'm feeling a bit better.

The traffic here is really tough. Traffic signs, lights and lines on the road are just mere suggestions. People will pull up right on to the side walk. I've also never heard so much honking in my life. Even when we're heading off to bed I can hear "beep, beep, honk, honk, toot, toot" ... it's never ending. At least here in Nha Trang (beach area) the traffic isn't as brutal as it is in Saigon. Crossing the road in Saigon is a real art. You have to move around predictably so you don't get run over. If you dart about here and there you'll surely get smoked by the pretty lady carrying a load of chickens and tropical fruit.

We're going to visit a group of islands around Nha Trang tomorrow and hopefully doing some snorkeling. I hope I can kick this bug by tomorrow morning otherwise I might be yakking off the side of the boat. Well at least if I do more fish will come around! I know, I know that's really gross but I'm trying to stay positive here.

Ok, I should head off to bed early and rest up. This dang fever... curses!

Hi Nancy,
Sorry to hear about your fever/flu. You need to see a doctor if you are not getting better. Be careful what you eat when you don't feel well. Really enjoyed your blogs. Say hello to Colin, his parents and his son.
Love
