This is not exactly how I imagined my holiday to be… at all! Let me explain. I woke up in the morning at about 7am, and we decided that we were going all around the place for sightseeing. We also did some interest researching for clubs and bars so we can look them up a bit so we could go at night. We went in several places like the Royal Palace and its huge garden; some nice churches (that I can’t remember the name right now) and also some walking around the city to get the feel of the place. Later we headed back to the hotel for some rest so we could go out and stay out late at night.
At about 7pm we headed back out of the hotel to go find some nice restaurant to eat. I had some chicken with rice and my friend had pork with rice. The chicken tasted really good, and my friend had the same opinion on his dish, however something about the rice was not right. After dinner we went around to look for a bar, but it took us quite some time, since most of the bars were deserted. We managed to find a small nicely decorated bar and we went in for a drink. Drinks were not expensive, as Vodka with orange cost only 6 euro, and the glass was almost half filled with Vodka. After a couple of minutes in the bar, I started having a strange feeling in my stomach. At first I started to ignore it, however a few moments later it started to get worse. We left the bar to head back to the hotel, and by the time we arrived the pain grew much more. I dashed to the bathroom and I got sick and had to throw up everything. It was absolutely horrible! I managed to get food poisoning. My friend by then was still feeling ok. I spent the whole night awake, vomiting regularly and by morning I threw up about 6 times.
In the morning I went to the hotel reception to ask for a doctor, however she told me that for the doctor to just come it would cost about 200 euro!! She recommended me some medicine and gave me a couple of apples to eat during the day. When I got back to the room, my friend was feeling sick too and the food poisoning got to him as well. I was feeling quite good by then, so I head out of the hotel to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Unfortunately on my way back to the hotel I started feeling sick again and rushed back to the hotel and I threw up another several times – I counted about 9 times in all. Not a pretty sight, trust me.
Now it’s about to get dark, I’m awfully tired and I need a lot of sleep! Thank god the day is over and I hope I’ll be able to get out tomorrow. We were planning to go to Port Aventura fun park! Rollercoasters and rides yay!! (If I get better that is!)
