Are checking out this morning and leaving Karon Beach to go to Phuket Town so that we are closer the Pier to get the early ferry to Phi Phi Island tomorrow. Day didn't start well as we were both annoyed to see glorious sunshine after days of rain! We packed up our bags and got ready to leave. Nick still wasn't feeling great with a dodgy tum.
The guy that had brought us from Patong to Karon Beach, Maew, gave us his card as offered the best price to take us to Phuket Town.
Got to our hostel, Phuket Backpacker and really wasn't impressed, it had great reviews so think that we built up our expectations as it really wasn't great. Our room was boiling and the fan did nothing, floor was crawling with ants and the door was dodgy so were worried about security - even Isie could kick the door down!! lol. But it is only 1 day and night - thank God!!
We took a walk to the post office to get an idea on how much it would cost to send some bits we have bought home but Nick was beginning to feel really unwell so we headed back to the hostel. They had a common room with atelly and DVD player so Nick put on Anchor Man whilst I sent some emails. By the time the film was over Nick had a really high temperature so went back to our sauna of a room for him to have a lye down.
He seemed to have a fever along with stomache cramps, sickness and the other end too!! He often suffers with heat stroke so whilst he lay down I went to have a look on the net and found that his symptoms did match, but also match the early symptoms of Maleria. Got a bit worried and thought about going to the hospital but he said he would wait to see how he feels tomorrow and then decide.
I hadn't eaten since breakfast and was so hungry, Nick didn't want me going out alone so came for a walk. We went to a pharmacy and got some tablets to calm his temperature. Couldn't find anywhere where I could get something to eat and needed to get Nick back so went to 7/11 and stocked up on water and I grabbed a pizza bread type thing but when I went to eat it back at the hostel it was raw!!
Nick almost then knocked himself out! The ceilings in the room and bathroom were really high but the doorway was 4ft nothing!! He wasn't completely with it, still with high temp and dizzyness and walked full pelt into the wall when going to the bathroom!!!!!! He fell to the floor and had a massive bump on his head but luckily wasn't out cold!! Not having a good day at all bless him.
We are both having a very restless night with the loud hostel and heat but hope to get some sleep soon. If Nick isn't better tomorrow we will go to the hospital but hopefully those pills will help.
