Jan. 13 : Calicut, India

Friday, January 13 :: Calicut, India :: 0km today / 2445km total

I woke up terribly tired, exhausted, and aching. Some bruising coming through now from yesterday's crash. Lots of little things wrong with me, all over, not just from the accident but attrition from a month of cycling in India. Crash-wise my left side in general, from shoulder to shin, is not happy. A small burn on my leg from a bubbling prawn sizzler in Palolem a while back has still not healed. I have some sort of throat infection that has been slowly coming on, I'm guessing from the constantly-smoky, particle-filled air here that I suck in way too deeply when I'm cycling. I need to be 100%+ to face India's roads, and I'm at least a few days away from that.

So I slept much of the day away, but still feel exhausted. My fingers are slowly healing, even still I hypochondriached myself into the hospital to get a second look, but they agreed that nothing was broken and that my fingers will heal in a few days. I saw another Indian movie, in the theatre, and it was quite good. Still, I'm getting stir-crazy, having exhausted my entertainment options in Calicut, so I've booked a morning bus ride down to Cochin/Ernakulam (sp?) tomorrow.
