Sunday, June 3, 2007: Delhi Belly

It was bound to get me sooner or later, and it got me good: Indian Upset Stomach aka severe Diarrhea. I've been bed and toilet ridden for the past 36 hours, unable to function due to a pounding headache from dehydration, and unable to leave my room because of an equally pounding need to use the restroom. But that hasn't held me back from enjoying a warm bowl of Mutton Murgh, a side of Biryani, and a few pieces of Buttered Naan. However, I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I feel pretty good this morning. Due to my illness, I was unable to make it to Chandigarh - I'm still in Delhi. I am not sure what the plan will be from here - most likely head to Manali to relax in cooler weather for a few days and eventually work my way up to Leh. I need to get out of Delhi; it is just way too hot - between 105 - 115 degrees. I'm here in India until June 14 so I need to figure something out.Any suggestions?
