The ceiling was black; or was it white? Or did it actually change colour depending on the time of the day? That was all that I could grasp as I lay in bed with Miss Malaria, munching medicines.

Glad to read that you have recovered
I have been reading with keen interest of your travels. I was getting concerned that I had not heard from you since your last entry ended with your meeting with Ms. Malaria. Glad to see that you have recovered and are back on the road. Thank you for sharing this grand adventure!

Tur att d u inte dog får jagt lov att säga. Var det ball få malaria annars? Hörde att man kan dö av skiten. DET hade varit lite....nej mycket tråkigt. Annars.. Kusinen din, är på ett spa....eler nåt? I 10 veckor tror jag. Han behöver vila upp sig nämligen... Men iaf, grattis till en mycket lyckad blogg och jag avundas dig och aili....trots the hardships.

Fantastiskt
Helt fantastiskt, det ni gör och upplever. Förstår att det är tufft ibland men ni får med er minnen och värden för hela livet. Vilka fina bilder Boobie! Jag tror inte alls att du har fått det efter pappa. Han har ju aldrig kunnat plåta. Pratade kort med farsgubben igår kväll. Allt var bra där hemma. Ha det fortsatt bra önskas från Torslanda.
