I've had a splitting headache for nearly a week now and finally decided to visit a clinic. Thankfully in Vientiane the Australian embassy has a western quality clinic and doctor that will see any person from a commonwealth country. So we rented some bikes and headed to the embassy to hopefully have my head checked. The doctor quickly determined that it could be Dengue Fever or Typhus based on my descriptions so he took blood and ran some tests. The Dengue came up negative so likely Typhus. So now we get to spend some extra time in Vientiane while I take antibiotics to get rid of the Typhus.
On a pleasant note the city has the best western food we've had since leaving Canada. We had some excellent french cuisine last night at prices that would make McDonald's nervous a home.
