Thursday 21st February
We're like a scene from a zombie movie. Those still on their feet are moving cautiously, never far from the toilets, and sipping gingerly at their water. What should have been a final relaxing and fun day together has become just another endurance test...how long we can stay on our feet.
I spent the day lying by the pool in the shade, or in bed. I ventured out at dinner time, but only to watch those few souls who were unaffected eat their dinner. It seemed almost indecent for them still to have the will to eat when so many around them were mewling and puking at the very thought. Seems slightly ironic that for all the places we have stayed and eaten, it is the most up-market place that has laid us low...just shows you can never make assumptions.
It was an unfortunately downbeat end to a fantastic adventure. The thought of the 4.30 start for those getting the train sent everyone to bed early...some had never left their beds all day.
