The Holy Trinity

Hola todos! como están? I wasn’t going to drop a blog today but I’ve had another episode that just had to be shared since it’ll be funny to read once we were past it. Today Im in Montería for 2 nights before setting off to Medellín. So what have we been up to?

Absolutely sweet nothing just chilling by the beach going in the sea for a few hours and maybe chatting up chicas willing to entertain our nonsense. I could have done some boat trips or tours but I just wanted the R&R. Been fun and I’m not normally a beach guy so goes to say it was needed. Then again too much time in paradise isn’t good for you in my humble opinion.

Fast forward to my last day in Coveñas. After my dip in the sea I go back to the hotel clean myself up and go out for lunch. I have a res Pechuga which is a beef stake with rice and a soup served with it. Right as I pay my tab some locals order me a beer and so I go over to chat with them. Friendly middle aged couple and their friend from Medellín. I have a few with them but don’t go crazy. The friend runs a shuttle bus company and has contacts in Cali, Bogotá etc and gave me his number. Might come in clutch further down the line. After this back to siesta I go. The night is uneventful apart from a giant motorcade of bikes coming through blasting horns and waving the Barranquilla Juniors football team banner – they had just won their league so everyone was going party mad. Me I kept it sane, go back usual time and turn in.

Here is where it gets nasty. I awake at 2.30 Am really needing a 💩 so awa te the boag wit ye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿! Once I get sat down it’s nasty and about halfway through the stench is so bad I can taste it. This turns into dry retching which soon turns into projectile 🤮 into the toilet and sink while same time taking a 💦 that I cannot stop. Mierda! Mientras mi culo y garganta están quemando!! 🔥

After a few rounds of retching we stop at last and clean up. I swig some water and go back to bed. 4.30 am we awake and do it all again! Then 6.30 I awake and puke in the sink again. Today is spent bedridden trying to slowly hydrate myself back to health ready for the trip to Monteria.

At the time of writing (about 12:00 yesterday) we have managed 8 hours with no puking 🤮 so fingers 🤞 was a short and sharp bug. My guess is something I eaten in the last day or 2 did this.

Note I tried to post this yesterday but the side was glitching on me. As of today the fever has gone and while gut is still a little on the delicate side I think I should be able to eat after a near 48 hour fast.

Still what a fun time! It goes to show you never know what the RNG might roll us next! how many bad events we’ve had surely were due for something cool now?

Catch you mañana!
