Still feeling really ropey, haven't eaten anything for days now. Really weak, just hope things improve soon. The depressing thing is Nepal is the country I'm most looking forward too on my travels and I only have just under three weeks in this mountain kingdom. I'm gutted that my time is being wasted by illness. I'm going to see the doctor this afternoon, the trekking company are insisting I go, I think there're a bit concerned that it's taking me long time to recover.
 
I arrived at the doctors surgery and I was greeted by two beautiful Nepalese nurses. I entered the seriously plush waiting room and thought I'd died and I was waiting for my judgement from God. With the cute nurses, beautiful gardens outside, the nice waiting room, I thought these were the gates of heaven and I was waiting for god to decide whether he was going to let me in to the party or not. Strange what no food and 3 days in a dark room can do to a man.
 
I was assessed by the nurses, weight, pulse, blood oxygen etc, saw the doctor, had blood and urine taken and was given my medications, all in 30 minutes, that's what I call efficiency. My weight is now 10 stone or 64kg, haven't been this skinny since I was a boy, I literally have next to no body fat.
