A day of adventure

What a huge day it's been today. I woke feeling quite breathless and fed up so decided since it was A quiet cruising day it was time to seek some medical help. The ship people were wonderfully helpful and recommended a private hospital about an hour away by cab. So one was ordered for us and off we went. The hospital people were very good. The doctor spoke a little bit of English enough to understand the description of my symptoms. He wanted a chest xray which was done quickly in the next room. Chest infection was confirmed so I left with a script for antibiotics. I have taken 1 dose and already feel better. Unfortunately we missed our boat which left at mid day, but we already had an arrangement in case that happened. So another 2 1/2hr taxi ride and a 2 1/2hr wait for our ship further along the river. We had a wee problem with the cab too because Rog went to pay with his card and found the driver who spoke no English only took cash which we didn't have. So off we drove through the countryside looking for and ATM. Eventually we were all sorted and we were dropped off at the jetty in the middle of no where for a 3 hour wait. So that was our day. But you'll be pleased to know I'm sooo much better. Was quite sweet when the boat started docking all our gang were lined up waving and hanging out windows welcoming us back on board. They've all been so kind. Photo of the boat coming through the lock.Read more
