Where I stayed
Hostal Pension Alemana
[I suggest to not read this entry if you get queasy or are eating.]
Got home from dinner last night~8pm and soon after lying down on the bed - Houston, we had a problem. My stomach was quite upset and I preceded to visit the toilet many times. About every half hour. I thought I might have had the best of it around 11am today, but threw up my banana & water lunch while writing this blog. The immodium and Pepto aren't quite doing the trick yet. Wondering if I should take the anti-biotics they prescribed of if I just need some more time.
Luckily today was a do whatever day so I'm not missing much, but I leave tomorrow ~5:30am to start hiking the Inca trail for 4days so I don't have a lot of time to get better. Decisions... decisions.
Of course I can point to several things that might have not been good ideas to eat, but don't know what it was specifically. Food poisoning generally start 4 - 36 hours after eating contaminated food, so that pico de gallo from the Mexican restaurant or that buffet lunch yesterday are potential candidates. At least the dinner I bought last night is probably off the hook.
Signing off. Probably won't be back for a while - off on the trail hopefully...
