Day 12 (January 19, 2000) Delhi Belly in Pondicherry Guess what? My stomach of iron turned to jelly yesterday at about 6 pm, and I spent all of last night and today no more than 10 feet from the bathroom. At least my 300 rupee room at the Park Guest House HAS a toilet! It also faces the sea, has hot water, and filtered drinking water outside in the hallway. They've also sent me to the clinic, where the doctor says my 103 temperature and other symptoms are severe "travelers illness," and has prescribed the antibiotic Cipro, which my doctor at home had already provided me. The charge for seeing the doctor? 50 rupees, please. 20 rupees for the cab. I felt better.
