Well, it has finally happened. Chad is down and out in the hotel with a bad case of food poisoning, or some kind of nasty bacterial invasion. Somehow, i managed to escape. We ate exactly the same thing yesterday, so I must be very lucky indeed.
It's strange. A few days ago, we shared the same lunch and the same dinner with a couple here after our kayaking trip, and we ran into them a few days later, they were both sick and throwing up all the day before. Chad and I totally escaped that one, even though we had exactly the same dishes as they did. My theory was that our stomachs were more accustomed to the bacteria here, since we had been here for 2 months and they were only here for two weeks. I don't know why the bacteria gods chose to infect chad and not me, but I am fine.
We had booked an air ticket to Chang Mai for today, but luckily i was able to change it to tomorrow. Hopefully chad will be feeling better by then, or we may need to change it again. It's much better to be recovering in a comfortable, familiar hotel than have to catch a plane and then carry our packs all over looking for a new place to stay. We are in no hurry to get to Chang Mai, other than our time here in SE Asia is soon coming to a close and we will be meeting up again with Shane on Friday. We should have no problem getting there by then.
