I've run out of luck on the food stakes - what a dreadful night! It might have been worse for Charles, as he hasn't appeared yet...

Got some medicine from the Doc at lunchtime, and spent the afternoon sleeping. Doc says it's a bug, not just reaction to spicy food. Also, Doc said must not take normal anti-diarrhoeal medicine, since that keeps the bugs in. Take rehydration salts (electrolytes, dioralyte), and anti bactierals if necessary, and levobact to replace normal gut flora. The important thing is to get the bugs outside your body, not keeping them in. I found not eating for 24h seemed to help (if you can believe it).

I've changed my return flight from late Sunday night to early Saturday morning, since I'm not going sightseeing feeling like this. It means I'll be back in the office on Monday.
