So where I last left off I wasn't feeling to great, well it got worse I started throwing up from the smell of food and I couldn't face eating or drinking anything. We made a group decision that I would go to the doctors! So I went to the tiny and only clinic on the gili islands! The guy told me I had to eat and gave me a wad of tablets! That went down like a sack of spuds! I had the tablets with the only food I could manage and half an hour later threw them up and had to sleep for an hour! So back to the clinic and the doctor put me on a drip! Yes yes very dramatic I know! Becky took some photos for me lol! After I had 2litres of whatever pumped into me (hours passed but I had a tv so I watched a couple of films not all bad) I felt slightly refreshed and went out with everyone to try tea! It worked I ate a very small amount but enough to take my tablets and for them to stay down!!
A good days rest and I was feeling better eating very small meals but eating nevertheless. We planned a snorkelling trip which I was excited about as the day I was in the clinic everyone else went diving! So with that in mind another early night for me!
However my conrads Becky Scott and Anna did not have the same thing in mind they went out and got pretty wasted. Anna stumbled in at 3.45 and was not feeling her best lol! Hicups a plenty!
They were all so happy to be on a boat all day and I dont think Anna was the only person to be sick (Scott). Me on the other hand I was feeling much better!!! I had a great time snorkelling and took lots of photos using my underwater camera case! I ever saw two turtles!! Exciting!
So the day was over we went for food which I ate some of (missed tea because I was trying to get in touch with Ste but the time zones were all messed up and it was complicated) but we decided to go out for a bit! My first night out on the gilis!! It was ok I was a bit mopu at first missing stes call on valentines day but cheered up after a beer!
We met some nice Canadian guys who were telling me about the snow and hockey they are pretty enthusiastic about where they live and it just made me want to go!! (anyone fancy a skiing trip there?) they tagged along with us and I made friends with one of them and he decided I was his little sister and decided to taunt me as you would expect. Boys!! Fun night and we got back about 2am not to bad for a sicky!!
So the last day we sort of did nothing much! Got up late chilled out had lunch me and sarah decided we wanted to go horse riding got a horse and cart to the little hut that it was in andthey were fully booked massively gutted especially as it's ages away from everything else and our cart ha just left! So we walked upto the corner of the island which was stunning! And there was a discarded bar called sunset bar and it was amazing! I took photos from every angle went behind the bars into the toilets the kitchen! If I make enough money I'm going to buy it!! It would have been amazing!! After no luck of any sort of transport we resorted to walking which I hate especially in the sub! Luckily there was another bar this time open where we had a nice relaxing drink with jack johnson playing in the background! Then we got back I went to the beach and found everyone made dinner plans and went back to the room.
We had a nice night just chilled not to late but had a laugh all the same and a little dance at the sama sama bar which had a live band.
Next day we headed to Ubud on a crazy fast boat which was great fun!! Massive drops lots of splashes as we sat on the roof!!
Ubud which is a little town full of tiny shops and a big Market great tourist spot! We found our room pretty easy (no thanks to me) and then had some much deserved lunch. Later I had a full body massage which was great different to Thai massage less bending.
Then we had tea at a nice place I had a really good chicken dish loved it!! Then me Anna and Sarah went for desert at another bar and the man was very charming putting on an English accent saying "alright duck" very funny.
Next day we went to the monkey forest sanctuary which was were some of indiana jones was filmed. There was monkeys everywhere I like them from a distance and I have been told not to touch them so I ran past taking photos! There where lots of funny statues so naturally we posed with them!! In the afternoon we went to the Market I bought a bright blue Bintang t-shirt (Indonesia's local beer) and the others got sone beer holders ect ect. We stopped for ice-cream and then I convinced Anna and Becky to get a massage so yes I had another one! (it's the equivalent of £2.50 who could say no to that)
We headed back to Jakarta on the 18th it was A good enough flight nothing interesting to report and we got back to the house ok Sarah had a different flight to us so she met us later. We managed to navigate our way to the local KFC which they love in Indonesia!! I had an O.R burger which could be chicken not quite sure but it was the equivalent of 80p so can't complain!! In Indonesia and Malaysia you can get a mcdonalds delivered so we had that for tea!! Yes lazy yes not cultured but we had it delivered so that's a new experience!
I flew to bangkok yesterday (after saying goodbye to Becky Scott Anna and Sarah in Jakarta, bye guys) and got straight onto a bus to the train station I managed to get onto the last train to Chang Mai it's an over night train so it left at 10pm and should get there at 12.45 but I doubt it!! But I got my little bed so I had a good night sleep just waiting to arrive!! So that's me all up to date!!
Speak to you soon!! Back to Thailand my home from home xx
