Trav has spent a week with his head on a pillow- the flu (the flu jab didn't work) and then a chest infection.
Good news is that the doctor spoke English, else it would have been a nightmare. 'if you prefer we can speak English' was the most polite way anyone has offered to share the international language- most just start talking to you in English.
They have good meds here. The doc hooked Trav up with a good dose of anti bi's to counter his high metabolism- a level high enough to make him tired. Also, he prescribed ibuprophen laced with psuedoephidrine and cough medicine loaded with codeine. Australias 'no pain no gain' approach to meds is crap.
Hit a well reviewed local restaurant for lunch- they got the creme brûlée to toffee ratio spot on, although we were at a loss to see how one person could finish it (maybe after too much pseudo ephedrine!).
Happy birthday Jo and see you soon!
