Days kinda run together at this point, with spurts of two hour sleep on the tile floor, it has been hard to tell morning from dusk and dawn. We will wait until everyone is healthy enough for the hour and a half bus ride back to the ancient city. Buddha has shown us true karma on this trip (we were scolded for wasting too much food for yesterday's breakfast and the hungry ghost was mad at us) Life's a funny thing. I'm fully recovered as of 8am and now just waiting patiently outside as the others fight their battles. This serene place is great to explore on your own, it has given me a great reading environment.
It took about two hours to get everyone packed up and carry the sick people to the bus, but by now their number was down to about five. The monks got together to bid us farewell and we started our long bus ride back to the ancient city. I have to mention here that our bus driver got lost (he just wouldn't listen to us backseat drivers trying to show him the right way) :-)...Magellan strikes again. So our 1.5 hour bus ride turned into 4, but we eventually got back to the Hilton. I can only imagine what the bell boys thought as we filed off the bus with every other person looking very green. It took about three minutes for us all to find a bed and fall into it...we slept for 15 straight hours...nice
