Hi all,

We made it to Sri Lanka after a couple of days in the hotel room in Delhi after Rich getting what I had when we got to India first time round. He had really bad diorrhea then started vomiting through the night so i called the emergency doctor out to the hotel. The doctor said he had food poisoning which had led to Gastro Enteritis and so he was prescribed strong antibiotics and we spent the day resting in hope he would feel better for the flight. Thankfully the antibiotics seemed to have worked and he felt a lot better for the flight but just weak though not being able to eat.
The flight was good but 2 hour delay (actually a schedualed time change but we diidn't ring Emirates to check). Got to Sri Lanka at 4am ish so didnt get into bed untill 6am ish and so we spent the morning asleep till lunch time when rich filled up on Pasta feeling much better. The beach is ok, but i'm sure there are much nicer ones further from Columbo. This is where our next problem startred. Rich developed a really bad headache on the beach although he sat in the shade for the whole time drinking water. We had to come back to the hotel so he could lie in the dark as it had developed into a seriously bad bad bad migrane. So yesterday afternoon he spent in the dark hotel room in agony. The 'Brufen 'didn't work so we went to the chemist and they recomended Panedine (Paracetamol and Codine). Rich has not improved throughout the night and seemed the most ill i have ever seen him. He was writhing around in agony so i decided to call doctor again only to find out they won't do home visits in Sri Lanka but managed to get some advice from the doc who recomended 'Diclofenac Sodium' as a strong pain killer. Ihave been up since half 5 and and am waiting for the chemist to open at 8.30 am (it is 8.15 now). The owner of the hotel has been exceptionally helpfull and came and gave Rich a head massage with some herbal oil which claims on the bottle to cure "all kinds of headache and Brain problems". He pummeled this into Rich's head with his hands. Rich has now fallen asleep and i'm off to the chemists and to buy some Bananas.
So that's the news for now. I hope these new tablets work. Will keep you updated.

Love Sho
