Now I've got diarrhoea! Lending an extra level of truth to the aphorism "it never rains, but it pours"*. Despite travelling through Africa twice, I've never before had to suffer this particularly unpleasant ailment, and had therefore managed to convince myself that I was completely immune. Only yesterday I was bragging to my brother on the phone about my super-duper impenetrable fortress of an immune system. It's true: pride comes before a fall.

I know what it was: it was the lomito I had for dinner in that cafe last night, it arrived FAR too quickly for something with that many ingredients. But what was I supposed to do? "Excuse me, waiter, my meal has arrived too quickly, I demand that you take it back and spend longer making it."

This town of pain really is cursed, but at least I�ll die knowing to how to spell diarrhoea (and that llamas are llamas and amphitheatres, Greek).

* sorry about that one, folks.
