DAY 29 - ANTALYA

29) TUESDAY, 26 JULY 1977 : 0KMS. - ANTALYA

I got Diarrhea since the morning, it might cause by anything, likely from grapes given by the girls at the beach  or it might be the ice or ice cream we had.  This tells us to be more careful in eating as we came from Europe and the weather is getting warmer. There are also more  flies that might  contaminate our food.

TILO had abdominal pain and ran "to the field" many times even though I gave him Thai herbal medicine "Krissana Glun"  (new generation  today would not know about this medicine) against stomachache, as well as Western medicine against it but it did not help much. So he had to stay in bed all day.

I was  not affected so much and  went to swim and  played with those young  Turks who have come to the beach for swimming during the last  2-3 days. We were so familiar and I was persuaded to swim out with them to the sand dune not far from the beach for  waves surfing together. The waves were big and strong. Anyhow , it was fun and we enjoyed  a good  challenge !
