Well, I woke up today and felt shitty. Sick to my stomach, sick to my head, and I had no idea what it was. So I immediately decided I'd take the day off; it seemed like the responsible thing to do. And so I spent most of the day just relaxing in the local cafe. This allowed me to charge my batteries, do some blogging, and gorge myself on food until I felt better all at the same time! I also finished the book I was currently reading - The Reluctant Swordsman by Dave Duncan.
I found time to do my laundry, and was appalled by how much I had to spend to do it. (Laundromats ain't cheap, especially when you have to do two loads because you have to wear something.) And later I wandered over for another late night soak in the hot spring, which I had the good sense to take a picture of today.
In fact, one of the locals told me that there were two hot springs in the pool I was in, the small hot spring encircled by rocks in the bottom right of the picture where the hot water springs from, and the rest of the pool that is warmed by that water. I tried by best to handle the really hot spring, but I didn't last more than 30 seconds. (Which the local said was actually pretty good, considering the water was 108 degrees)
Nate had arrived at about midday, and decided to stop for the day because of the hot spring and because the wind was ferociously blowing against him. We hung out a fair deal in the cafe, and ended up camping together later that night.
With the luxury treatment I gave myself today, I should definitely feel well enough to press on tomorrow.
