Day 10 - Malta

Day 10...

Short and sweet.

Alison has not been feeling well, so today, the day she was feeling the worst we took it easy. We got up and went to breakfast in the hotel. We then walked down the street to the pharmacy to get some cold medicine. When we got there, it wasn't open even though it was close to 10am. We went to a small grocery store and asked when the pharmacy would open as well as bought some lemon tea. The clerk in the store told us that they should be open by now but it depended on who was opening. They also told us how to find another pharmacy that was around the corner. We headed to that one. The pharmacist was very nice and gave us several choices of brands. I chose the one that seemed the most like something we would get at home. The thing that is different is that with the cold medicine here, they also include a 300mg tablet of vitamin C. So if you took it every 4 hours if you needed it, then you would also get 1200mg of Vitamin C helping to boost your immune system. I thought that was smart. The other thing that is different is that all cold medicine is behind the counter in a cabinet, the pharmacist had to get it for us. After we got the medicine we headed back to the room. The plan for the day was just to get Alison better. So we read and watched TV and ordered lunch to the room and Alison did some sleeping. In the afternoon, we tried to get internet in the lobby of our hotel, but it wasn't working out so we trucked ourselves back out to the Radisson. Our bus passes expired today at 12:18 but we figured if they didn't work we would just pay for them. Both bus drivers wanted to look at them but they let us on with them anyway, it was strange. We got to the Radisson and updated our blog and then headed back to the hotel. We decided rather then truck out and find food we would eat in as we knew there were not many choices on the street our hotel is on. So we ordered from the Pizzeria in the hotel. Then spent the evening reading and wathcing TV and headed to bed. Tomorrow....we head to Santorini!
