Poorly In Tanzania

Today we had planned to go to Moshi, which was a town near to Kilimanjaro, there were some beautiful hot springs that Deo had told us about and he wanted to show us around Moshi too because that was the town he grew up in. I had been poorly for a few days,I had been sick the day before and suffered from an upset stomach for a few days too, when it got to Friday I thought that I must be better by now, but I was very much mistaken, I had a tiny bit of dry toast at breakfast and straightaway headed to the bathroom, there was no way I could go on a 2 hour car journey like this so I stayed at the house. I was telling Deo that I wouldn't be able to come with them I said i'm poorly, which is very close to Pole in swahili which means sorry, so he thought I was saying i'm sorry but really i was saying I was sick, this was cleared up later and we taught him some other words such a chippy, cuppa, gutted. 

I stayed in bed, reading most the day, because I had decided I wasn't going to eat anything to give my body a chance to recover, later on when everyone was back, I told David I wasn't well, he then told Mama, who straight away came to see what was up, she then sent one of the boys to go get me some lucozade, which was a big help. I woke up the next morning feeling much better, No food and lucozade did the trick. If I hadn't have been better the next morning they were going to take me to the hospital, which worried me, that fear might have made me better haha.
