Sim is still feeling sick, so he has spent the day in bed staring at the funny creatures painted on the wall of our room, desperately hoping for his headache to go away and the fever to break. He managed to get some sleep and was feeling marginally better by the evening and coughing less.

I attempted to forage for supplies but was not entirely successfully. In my defense the dozen or so tiny spaza type shops were all selling the exact same things and there was not a lot to choose from. I spent the day holed up in the room with my love trying to nurse him back to health. The alternative would have been to go for a hike in the countryside on my own in the rain.

[Sim] My V was absolutely fantastic taking care of me and getting what we needed to survive – she is the best ! It was a really long crappy day drifting in and out of drug and virus induced comas. I was feeling so dizzy that the steep, narrow stairs down to the shower were a real danger. DuPont may have been interested in the stuff coming out of my lungs. It would have stuck to Teflon and confounded their scientists – no problem ! Not much else to say about the day. Was just bad and we want to get out of here but aren’t looking forward to more minibuses. I haven’t felt that sick in a very long time.
