Dear readers,
A new update during daytime, as I am still a little ill, but recovering from nausea and a headache. I am glad that I got this illness after the weekend and not during the weekend… why?This weekend (Friday-evening till Monday-evening) my whole family went to Porto, Portugal, to celebrate Maartens birthday. We had a great weekend, though it rained most of the time. The city centre is really old and picturesque, but sometimes a bit more of a collection of ruins than a city centre, as many of the houses seemed to be abandoned. But that created also a special sphere within the city. We had a lot of fun and took the tourist sightseeing bus to discover the city during the rain. Something we normally would not do, but the rain was an excellent excuse… 
Later we went walking around the city and its incredible collection of bridges, churches and houses with tiles on the outside. Yeps, tiles like our “Delfts blauw” put on the outside of houses and churches, sometimes they showed a huge image, very impressive, as you can see on my flickr account!
Maarten and I had also a great run through Porto, though it was a bit far for me, but I survived and enjoyed it. Through the city, by the ocean and the river Douro, it was a spectacular sight to run! So definitely check out my flick-account, you can find it on the sidebar of my blog…
We came back Monday-evening and I had to work again this Tuesday. The day started with my breakfast and I went to Zeist. There I discovered that my body was not in such a great state, as I had to go to the toilet every 30 minutes… I had nausea and it grew worse and worse. I could not eat anything and at last my breakfast went out as it came in… that was the moment I realized that it was better to go back home.
Yesterday was an awful day with a terrible headache and I still did not feel like eating. But I realized I had to eat, so I tried some biscuits with apple-syrup and could even hold them in my body. Combined with a lot of tea I started my fight back to the “healthy” status. Today I woke up still with little energy, but already 50% better then yesterday. Work was still no option, but I am recovering fast now. Hopefully everything will be fine tomorrow…
Now it is time for a banana and some tea!
It was a nice weekend, for sure! Hope to make such a citytrip soon! Get well soon, so we can run again …
