Well, Therese had a really bad nights sleep. Up and down all night. Think we were awake at 3am and I was looking into her symptoms on the Internet for an hour. She looks to have picked up an infection from food. Headache, aching joints, a low fever temperature at 39 Celsius and diahorrea.

Then we had a note under the door to say that Gaynor is also very unwell! And John had had to go out to take some guests on a short excursion until 1pm. He left me some yoghurt and muesli though.

I tried to look a few more things up on the Internet about Therese's symptoms until John got back.

He was back by about 12.30pm and shortly after we went back out to speak to a doctor. When we got into town though, the doctors was closed. So then we nipped by the tiny Hospital, but then decided to just go straight to the pharmacy. I told the woman there her symptoms and she gave me some antibiotics and charcoal tablets. John got the same for Gaynor. Hopefully we don't both get it too!

When we got back, Dave (one of the guests) was telling me how good the charcoal tablets are and how they are given to army personnel. They're supposed to be really good at soaking up the toxins. Therese had me read up on the antibiotics first on the Internet. I read quite a few articles about them and they're supposed to be the right stuff. She took an antibiotic and later a charcoal tablet. Her temperature was still around 38 Celsius.

Emma and Beth also came back with John at 12.30pm after going on the excursion, to relax up here around the pool. They're off to Laos next so I was telling them about a few things that we've done - no, not just getting drunk!

I kept checking on Therese but she wasn't doing good. She'd started getting really bad cramps in her guts. Definite sign of food poisoning from what I'd read on google. I decided to ring our travel insurance to let them know and to get a recommended doctor. Problem was, the Internet's not that brilliant and the Skype call kept cutting out. So didn't get very far with that.

In the end I asked John to take me back into town again to the doctor and the girls got a lift back too. Bloody still closed!! Closed from 1pm until 5pm - what's that all about!?

We went back to the guesthouse because we knew we had to come back in a short while anyway. We had to come back to get some tea and John has to take other guests into town too.

I got John to sort out a TV and DVD player for Therese. We put it in the room and set Shrek 3 going before we went. It lasts an hour and a half so we should be back by the time it's finished.

So, we went back into town again at around 6pm. Finally open!! Spoke to the doctor and told him all the symptoms. He prescribed some slightly stronger anti-biotics, some tablets to help the stomach cramps, and some anti-acid tablets. It's very cheap for all these medicines too by the way - £4 for all that. We had to wait until the other guests had their tea as well.

We were only supposed to be gone an hour and a half...two and a half hours we were gone! Therese had watched Shrek 3 nearly twice!

Took her temperature again and it was back down to 37.5 Celsius. Got the new medicines to Therese anyway, so going to see how that goes.

It's a bit of an extreme detox is this. We haven't drunk alcohol for a couple of days either. Actually, I've had one or two...better than 5 or 6 though isn't it!
