Arrival in Jodhpur...


After a 6 hour bus ride, we've arrived in Jodhpur. The ride was actually quite comfortable on the bus, until the first stop anyway. I decided to stop and use a bathroom in a local restaurant, it was a squat toilet and not all that clean with about an inch of waste on the floor. I was rushing as I knew the bus was only stopping for a short moment. In my haste I slipped and fell on the floor, my entire side covered (top to bottom) . I might as well have been in a portable toilet that fell sideways. I ran to the bus (as it was starting to leave) in tears and Matt was in sorts trying to figure out what had happened to me. After I told him what happened, he immediately tried to help clean me up. I felt ill completely and what was worse was knowing I had another 4 hours before our arrival. So many people saw the state I was in and started offering hankies, water, making sure I wasn't hurt.. I had a couple of small cuts that we made sure were clean and I just sat it out trying to keep from being sick.

Upon arrival in Jodhpur I went straight to the shower and Matt handled checking in, etc. Before heading up for dinner, we both started feeling sick, Matt more so than me and he continued to get worse. We had a restless night last night, he has a terrible fever and stomache ache but he's resting now and starting to eat a little. The antibiotics should help and hopefully he'll feel better in the morning. Getting sick was bound to happen at some point during our travels but it still doesn't make it any easier.

I am posting some videos in the previous posts as we now have a high speed connection. Hope all is well with everyone.

Oh no! That didn't sound pleasant at all!
Hope Matt is feeling better soon. Stay safe and take care of yourselves.
