My first night in Oakhurst was horrific. I was up and down either coughing or weeing all night. Ended up reading my kindle til about 4.30am. Why is it that everything seems so much worse during the night? I was freezing, then sweating, then I felt sick, and all in the pitch black. It was really s***.
