Not feeling so well

janestarzToo bad for my vacation, I've not been feeling so well. I could blame a ton of things. It could be the heat, or the butter, or the cheese, the salt, not enough to drink, the bread, the bad bed, the chocolate, the bottled water or even the fact that I haven't had a coffee since we left the Netherlands.
I actually have been trying to kick that bucket. Yes.
Truth is, I just felt bad today. We were going to take our bicycles and go to Tigaki or walk down Psalidi just like two years ago. In stead, NoKey cycled to the hot springs (10 kilometers of easy going and the last three just going up and down the mountain road) and had fun on his own while I felt bad, stayed in bed, watched the Other Boleyn Girl for the second time and read a book.
(More about the Other Boleyn Girl later, I suspect I could find plenty to rant about there. I'm just a huge Natalie Portman fan. Squee for the smallest star in Hollywood - I would look like a giant compared to her indeed.)
But now that it's cooling down and I forced myself to drink three large glasses of water and had some cream crackers (snack #1 on Kos) I am feeling slightly better. My back is worse for wear and I'm still very tired, but I feel fit enough to find a lovely fresh fish taverna and have some fish or possibly moussaka.
I haven't actually felt very hungry since we arrived. The heat takes your appetite away of course. Nobody ever warned me that it would be replaced by a feeling of mild queasiness or an upset stomach. Anything to not be hungry, it seems.
I hate the fact my body has let me down.
I do have adequate battery to put some things down in writing and then NoKey will want his turn at the poolside wireless, and then it's time for dinner. It's nearly dinnertime, after all.
