Post #93 - January 12, 2013 - Mumbai (Bombay), India

What we did: went to doctor, rested, watched movies, went to grocery store
Budget: 3500R/$70; Spent: 4199R/$84

Patty woke up this morning feeling very sick. She was having bouts of extreme stomach pain, so we decided to see the doctor again. We ordered a light breakfast and then went to the doctor. He prescribed Patty some more medication, but told her that the symptoms would last at least a couple more days.

We went to go pick up her medication and then just went back to the hotel. We spent the afternoon resting, working on the blog, and surfing the internet. In the late afternoon, we watched The Impossible, a movie about the tsunami that hit Thailand a couple years ago. It's apparently based on a true story. It's a remarkable story if that's true.

Later in the night, Patty was feeling a little better so we decided to go to the grocery store to stock up on some food and, in particular, buy a bag of Doritos we had seen the previous day. The bag of Doritos was priced, unbelievably, at $7.50!! Though it didn't really matter, because we bought it anyway.

Unfortunately, we wandered down the street to another grocery store because we had noticed they had cheaper almonds and we found the same bag of Doritos for a couple dollars less. Seems like we got ripped off. At least we got cheaper almonds!

After this, we went back to the hotel and watched Argo, the new Ben Affleck movie based on true events. It was pretty good, although we were disappointed to learn that apparently they had downplayed the importance of the Canadians in the plot.

It may not seem like it was an exciting day, and that's true...but it's unbelievably nice to just be able to relax, especially in this hotel room!
