I wake up in pain again. Walking hurts. I go to the gate to see what i can do. Nicholas is at the gate again and suggest i go to the hospital. After some thought i agree. He wants to go with me.
After arriving in “Diani Beach Hospital” i am already happy he is with me. I don’t feel like my case is important, but he keeps pushing for me to get treatment. I fill my papers and a nice lady explains me that my insurance needs to call them, cause my insurance certificate is not sufficient – but does not provide me a number.
After some waiting Nicholas tells me that this situation is not ok – we should see the pharmacist and walk. When i explain and show my sunburn, he tells me i have to see a doctor. Back to step one, i guess.The Lady comes again and tells me that i can also pay in private – up to 300€. I agree to relive my pain and escape bureaucracy. In an instance i am sent to initial checkup (weight, height, general condition) and a minute later to the doc. He looks closely at my cooked crab legs and subscribes me cortisol – in the bottom, in the tummy and on the legs, accompanied by rest and no sun. The final Bill is 60€, including medication for a week.
We go back to the Villa and i go back to bed after applying the creams.
I wake up and feel in a rush. It`s fricking new years eve and there gotta be a nice party. I take another shower, get ready, rest my legs as recommended and start walking to the beach.
Its way to early. Hardly 9 pm. I decide to stop at Papaya to have some beer. The Owner asks me to sit with him and his Team, i drink my Tusker and get a Gin Tonic – and some more.
When time comes, i ask to pay but he refuses to charge me for the Gins – i walk already a bit tipsy to Copa Cabana where we where supposed to meet between 10 and 11 and arrive still a bit early – at least no more Gin.
No one is there, i sit alone for a bit until someone comes and talks to me about Woman. Oh boy do i have to say something about that. After a bit he asks me to join his group and we go to the beach where they have some beach mats – him and his 4 girl friends. We talk and i get some more beer.
After a while Nicholas comes and asks me to come up, i ask him to sit with us if nobody else is there. He doesn’t want to, but i am irritated and stay – no Mnazi here yet and my Beer is still full. Then Sir Henry comes, i tell him where Nicholas is – he says he knows.
The Girls are nice, one seems to like me quite a bit – i get tipped on my shoulder again. It`s Jessica, looking kinda angry. I reach her hand to get up and we go to the boys.
The Mnazi is kind of not my thing weird mix between bitter and sweet, hardly any coconut resemblance – from my understanding it`s fermented coconut milk.
When Midnight gets close, we decide to walk along the Beach towards the Ressorts to see the fireworks. Its nothing special but quite nice so i wan’t to take some pictures. At this very moment some boys run by and try to grab my phone – it only gets stopped by my cord that ties it to my pants.
Happy new Year!
