Sean, the poor little traveler, woke up in the middle of the night with a nasty fever. Maxine provided a thermometer and to our horror we discovered Sean had a temp of 40 degrees Celsius. After spending the first day worrying about him and hoping the fever would break, Tara took him the following day to the Ubud clinic. The nice doctor there prescribed some probiotics and other medicine. Potentially roto-virus we were told. We should note en route to the clinic Sean decided he would provide his own form of artwork on Ketuts shirt via stomach fluids. As another aside Tara went to the ATM and attempted to withdraw 3 million Rupiahs. After an incoherent message was displayed and her card was spit back, we noted the following day online our bank showed 3 million Rupiah withdrawn. The problem – no cash was given. The gods are not smiling with us these days.
We stayed close to home for the next few days and watched over Sean as he slept and whimpered away. We were very, very worried about the little bugger and again we doubted our trip.
On the plus side, Sydney and Tara had some fantastic moments in the pool. Syd decided to throw her shirt at Tara in the pool and would run off cackling away. Tara pitched the mop back at her with some good success. This game lasted for a half hour before Syd ended up in the pool.
Two sisters from Taiwan, Grace and Jessica, arrived at the villas and fell in love with Sydney. When they left three days later they gave Sydney a necklace and bracelet.
We also met a nice couple from Scotland with a little boy named Felix. Sydney and Felix met the next day at Ghandras. It was nice for Sydney to have a little play friend but no spark was ignited and we left after about a half hour. The day before I had suckling pig with Sydney at Ghandras – yummy and spicy.
Tara discovered Magnum icecream bars for $1. We are making it a daily habit as I am for smoking clove cigarettes. I could easily become addicted and turn into my father for the next 30 years. Hopefully this habit will end when the no smoking sign is illuminated enroute to KL.
