Wednesday 30 October
My "when in Rome" attitude was taken to the next level today. After trying a number of neti pot nasal rinses, yoga and good old fashion rest, The Italian and I went in search of my very own neti pot and some cold and flu drugs. So where does one buy a neti pot and cold and flu tablets? A visit to the local Ashram and pharmacy of course. First stop, one very intriguing and interesting Ashram. To recount this experience step by step just wouldn't do it justice. It was definitely a first and made me more curious about spending some time at one in the not too distant future, though maybe not this one. But mission accomplished, I'm now the proud owner of my very own neti pot and some local publications on yoga at this particular Ashram.
The second mission this morning was purchasing cold and flu tablets from one very precarious looking pharmacy located somewhere close by to the Ashram. Given one's day job, it took some convincing that what I was about to take was in fact legal, would indeed work and not result in me being flown home to Australia via a Medi-vac. At approx 20 cents a tablet, no Product Information or packet for that matter but efficacy beyond efficacy, what's not to love about a stash of Indian cold and flu tablets.
Not quite a miraculous recovery but enough to charge ahead and get a fort or two under one's belt yet again. The Italian and I took in the stunning historical sights and sounds of Jaipur. This of course included some shopping. Buying shoes, standing up on the side of a road has never been so fun or productive.
