getting over travel

The after effects

This time its not my travel but someone elses that I'm recovering from.India a place I have never been to and may never go to has become very intimatly know. Its deceases its infections have come home with my son.
Ameobic dysentry loss of weight and exhaustion has wiped away most of the good that the trip did.It seems that antibiotics are available over the counter so that like anything else it can be abused. Not my problem , what people do with their own bodies is their concern but when it means that a serious illness cannot respond and is brought home then I reserve the right to say what ever I want.
Just in case you are going to travel and have taken all precautions let me add few things to keep in mind.
You will know not to drink thwe water, eat salad washed in tap water or ice cubes. Please add ,do not wade through flood waters or drive a Bike through flood waters.
Do not take monthly doses of strong antibiotics.
Do believe that doctors know more than you
If taking rehydration powders DO follow the instructions.
Do not discharge yourself from hospital unless it is in dire necessity
Do not drink alchohol when taking antibiotics.
Opium may help the pain and stop the need to eat but will also mean you neglect to get proper treatment.
I hope this saves someone from bringing a unwelcome present home to their mother.

looking for paradise

Train to goole

sunny 20 °C

Why always go to the most obvious places I though . Maybe you will find the ideal in a place less visited.
So I went to Goole the end of the line out on its own .
There are no hotels in Goole and only one bed and breakfast over a Chinese take away., But it has its own charm.
Fine if you are disabled, hire a buggy for £5 for the week at the Coutyard Project.Pick it up each morning at 9.30am Visit the shops the library and the River walk. Do specialist shopping at the Polish deli.
or catch a taxi to the canal museum.It is possible to find things to do for at least two days and if like me you have mobility problems Goole will be heaven with its easy access for buggys.
I am not a bird watcher but the river ouses, ouses its way past Goole and I can imagine that at certain times Birds do alight.
If you are a container spotter you will be in your element.
People in Goole visit Hull and Doncaster for entertainment.
I most probably will never go again, but the people I met were fine people and helpful and welcoming so maybe I will
