After a few to many nights out on the town in Palolem, i have become ill. Im not sure exactly what i have but its not good and its been going on for the last 4 days. Ive been to the doctor and they have set me up with some medication so will see how that all plays out. I wont get into much detail about what im experiencing but its not cool. The nights out were fun, but i just simply have to stop drinking for the next little while in order to recover. It helps that now im in Hampi, which is regulated liquor by the government. Im sitting in an internet cafe right now at its pooring outside, so myself and my german counterpart (stefan) are soaked. Im glad to be off the beach to. 10 days was more than enough of doing nothing and drinking cheap beer, although i did get some good reading done. The bus ride to hampi was absolute hell though. 12 hours of bumbs in a sleeper stall that could barely fit a fucking 10 year old girl. Hampi is beautiful, the ruins and temples are amazing but the weather is shit today. Ive changed my plan as to where im going after Hampi aswell. Im going to head north to the desert, and hang out in Rajasthan. The only problem seems to be getting there right now due to the Hindu Dawaliwal (or somethign like that) festival which is like christmas time for us. Getting a train back to mumbai is going to be hell, so im going to wing it and worse case scenerio il bus it again. The bus is quicker, and supposbly the "state of the art" freeway from Hampi to Mumbai is really in good shape. haha. So it should make for a smoother ride. Right now Stefan and i are staying in a nice place over looking the river of the ruins. Il try and post some photos from the last few weeks, but the computer im on sucks. Im also not feeling well at all so the experience of the last 5 days hasnt been all that fun. I hope this medicine finally starts to work better or else il probably have to go to the doctor again for blood work. Sorry to make u panic mom, but the medical facilities here seem to be in good shape so what can you do. I looked online and i saw the oilers are off to a 4 and 0 start, which is awesome. Mom please email me the travel agents email again becuase i think i deleted it. I might try and call home at some obscure hour in the next few days so if the phone rings please pick up.
love steve

Steve, sorry to hear that you are not feeling well; it's not good being away from home and ill. Did the doctor give you antibiotics? They should really start to work in 48 hours if you have the right medicine- are your symptoms stomach related? Are you running a temp? Eating and drinking local foods you can pick up many things I encourage you to get to your blood work. It's good you have a friend with you. So rest for a few days and be careful what you eat. Call us any time we have no plans to go anywhere- Do you want to go to Bali for the last part of your trip maybe stay with Peter? Willies email is Willie Kelly [willie@paulltravel.com]. Let me know what I can do.
Love mom
Nothing worse than being sick while traveling, especially if you are planning on busing for hours, god, Man, hang out and try to get better first,o.k.? The nurse wants all the details so better call.
Still, you are amazing, brave and crazy...take care of yourself!

Hey baby,
Looks like your parents have it covered. Nothing to add from my end on the sickness. Just take your time, get better and then move on.
Glad you are still hanging with Stefan.
Love,
Your very impressed Aunt Joss XX
Stevo- take the grapefruitseed extract. The caves in Ellora and Ajanta north of Bombay are awesome if you stop ... Peter Wood will be in Nepal in November w/ friends.. Pokara is a great town on lake as is Kathmandu. Rajastan - Udaipur and Jaipur are cool
and there are some old temple cities......Neil
