Day 30-32: Recuperation

The next few days were spent either in bed or at a nearby cafe. I didn't feel particularly sick, but I did feel low on energy. Near the end of day 32, another guest at the hostel heard about how I was feeling and told me "I've got just the thing!". He'd had a similar sickness earlier in his trip, where he initially thought it was food poisoning, but it wasn't until he had lost 20 lbs over the next few months that he went to see a doctor and was prescribed some medicine for bacterial infections of the gut. The medicine worked wonders for him and, after some careful Googling, I agreed to take his remaining pills.
