Today neither of us felt good. I think we must both have a virus, since we share the same symptoms after a full week, and Dave took a course of antibiotics in that time. We must have picked it up on the dive boat, which we shared with about 40 other people for two full days. That, combined with the stress on the sinuses and ears of pressurizing so many times over the 4-day dive course must have cinched it.

There’s not much to say about today, as I was in a mental fog the entire day, tired and grumpy. Bike touring is no fun feeling this way. We are going to take a day or two more off here in Ranong and hopefully kick this.

The owner of the Wassana Guest House in Hat Bang Ben recommended the Suta House in Ranong, and we are glad for the tip. It’s a nice, clean place with a variety of inexpensive air-con rooms.
