Today, I was supposed to explore places in and around Jaipur, including the Amer Fort, aka Amber Fort.
Unfortunately for me, when I woke up this morning, I felt very ill. I had spent the night running to the bathroom. I had been hit by food poisoning, probably caused by the meal I had in Delhi as we left the city yesterday. I didn't know whether to sit on the toilet or lean over it as I was sick and suffering from diarrhoea. I was throwing up so badly that I hurt my ribs and had to take painkillers for the pain in my ribs as well.
I messaged our guide, Digamber and told him that I would not join the rest of the party today as they toured Jaipur. In the evening, I messaged Digamber to tell him I wouldn't make dinner and how bad I had been. He did reply, asking me if I had any medicine, but when I told him I didn't, the only reply I got from him was to make sure my case was outside my room by 7 am tomorrow to be collected for our 8 am departure. I was very disappointed that at no time during the day did he check on me, and apparently hadn't told anyone else that I was ill.
I stayed in bed nearly all day, only getting up to throw up, allow my bowels to vent, or to answer the door to an annoying cleaner who would not take no for an answer when asking if I wanted my room cleaned. I did manage to sleep quite a lot and started to feel better as evening drew in. I had gone from running to the toilet to be sick to wondering if my ribs had popped out and when the pain would end.
Where had I planned to see?
If I had not been ill, I would have been taken around Jaipur on a bus and would have been taken to see the Amer Fort and the City Palace.
Ramada by Wyndham, Jaipur.
The hotel for my stay in Jaipur tonight was the Ramada Jaipur, and it was the only thing I saw much of because of my illness.
