Last night, about 10:00 pm, Troy started to feel sick. We were worried about him because he was throwing up... a lot. He went to bed, exhausted by midnight.
About 3:00 am, both Darren and I started to feel sick as well, and by 4:00 am, all three of us were making multiple trips to the bathroom and were in the same boat.
The friendly hotel staff have gone out to get us water and gatorade.
We've been trying to figure out what it is, but can't come up with a cause that all three of us experienced. I didn't eat the last meal at the hotel, not did I eat the same meal they did on the road yesterday. It MAY have been from the shower water at the last hotel. They looked to be using river water, which if untreated, may have been enough just by getting some in our mouths when we showered.
We are very careful about the water, and have not had a lot of problems so far, but are still suffering this morning.
We should feel better tomorrow... I hope.
Update: We spent the entire day in bed. All 3 of us with the same symptoms. We feel marginally better this morning, so we're going to make a push for the coast and try to get to Barranquilla and the beach.
Boooo! Hope it passes soon!

Kali has a good point. Hope you are all better soon. The gatorade is a good idea too.

Hope you are feeling better. By the looks of todays tracking, you must be as you are on the move. A coworker of mine from Columbia offers the following advice if you need health assistance:
ReplyDeleteIf they ever get sick don’t go to a hospital!!
Tell them to look for a private Clinic. In Colombia ‘Las clinicas” are the size of the Children’s hospital with very good service and all new.
They are private so the service is awesome and the price is affordable compare to Canada. I’ll say 30% only.
The specialist (not family doctor) will see them right away for like 70 bucks or less.
Happy trails.

We're fine now Mom. Sorry about the lack of updates, we've been visiting some historical places that I need to research more before I write it up.
