Journal Entry:
Didn't get any sleep last night due to severe abdominal pains, and associated unpleasantness. Spent most of the day in bed. Wandered out around 7pm looking for something mild to eat. Settled on pancake like bread, asked for 25 Syrian Pounds (~US$.50) worth and got about 1.5kg. Managed to eat some, but still feeling a bit shakey. Consuled my self with the fact that this is the first time I've had any trouble in 11 months of travel.
