Turned out I was quite sick for 10 days - with fever and vomiting, leaving me feeling half dead. I toughed out 3 days of the fever in my hotel before realising i was getting too weak to go downstairs to buy water and ended up spending a week in the hospital on a drip (and some occasional oxygen). The major diseases came back negative - malaria, typhoid, dengue fever. The doctors say i have bronchitis,...

Urrrghhh - why was the human body designed to feel so much pain? 4am, lying on the toliet floor in my own vommit too weak to get up even to go to the toilet (yes, i pissed on the floor), sweating like mad, too nauseous to drink any water (it just came straight back up), i felt an all pervasive sense of wrongness.Gathering my strength over then next hour with the assistance of 2 panadols, i manged...

So resigning myself to the path of least...

This will be an ongoing post so I can keep track of what I have read - more for my own benefit rather than anyone else's interest I think (reverse chronological order).Planet Of Adventure (Jack Vance) - 6/10Pretty trashy and simplistic sci-fi but it still kept my attention enough to read all 550 pages in 24 hours.Eragon (Christopher Paolini) - 7/10Predictable fantasy done well (by a teenage author...

After arriving in Denpasar I thought I should at least have a look at the main beach where all the tourists head to - Kuta. I couldn't walk 5 metres without offers of room, bike or marijuana (which from all accounts is particularly bad quality). So hiring a bike the next day I rode the 100km or so to the north side of Bali to Tulamben, where I was one of only a handful of tourists.Most of the restaurants...
