Spoke too soon yesterday, soon after posting yesterday's blog I started feeling worse, not better. Chills, nausea, vomiting and then diarrhoea. Heat radiating like crazy from my body. Heat exhaustion I guess. I knew at the time I wasn't fit enough for the pace we were setting but you get pulled along. Idiot. Couldn't drink more than a swallow of water. So no lunch, dinner and breakfast, and a pretty lousy night. Luckily my room was on the ground floor so I went into the pool a couple of times to try to cool down. Also had a midnight cold shower. Not a great hotel, the worst of the trip, fan not air con, badly maintained, with noisy parties going on outside, so not a restful night anyway. Anyway no riding for me today, came to Colima in the shuttle van (along with Alain, currently with a bad stomach). Chicken soup for lunch today, bleeh... On the other hand, starting to feel much better, should be good for the "7 towns" day ride tomorrow starting finishing in Colima.
Today is best hotel day, the 4 star Hotel Ceballos, right on the plaza in Colima, and Paul (my roommate) and I seem to have lucked out, scoring a room overlooking the plaza.
