Will's ill on the West coast :(

Hi folks,

I was due to go ice-climbing today, but started feeling lame last night and had a rubbish nights sleep, so I got up this morning and cancelled before heading back to bed. Been up since lunch, eaten some food, been donated a kiwi by a generous fellow traveller (which, oddly enough, didn't really taste like a kiwi. Closer to a mandarin. I wonder if oranges in china taste like something different?...)

Ho hum. So I'm catching up on learning spanish today, and generally feeling sorry for myself. Luckily, I'm in quite a nice hostel, so it's not all bad, and I'm not in too much of a rush just now (I need to be in north island by monday, which is only a few days travel away). If I don't feel better by this evening I'll probably just cancel the ice-climbing altogether. There's a different glacier up the coast that you can go ice-climbing on as well, so maybe I'll fit it in there.

Now I think about it, apart from a minor bit of food poisoning in Laos, this is the first time I've got ill, so I'm not doing too badly :)


Back to bed for me,

Will.
