I had bronchitis a couple of weeks before I was due to travel to Sri Lanka.
I suddenly did not want to go. I felt really vulnerable and depressed,
but I also had faith that sunshine and a change of environment (I live
in London) would be good medicine for me. My first mistake was to
use the £10 voucher I was given by Sri Lankan airlines because of a
2 hour flight delay, to eat 3 oysters. Straight away I did not feel right..
but was it just nerves? I was not sick. I could not sleep on the plane
and arrived zonked … and nauseous. So I meekly allowed a taxi tout to
lead me to a taxi. I probably paid more than I should have but didn’t
care. I am someone who normally avoids taxis but I was that desperately
weary.
