 View from our bedroom in Kupang | A Sudden Onset of Severe ...
We were staying in Kupang, and from our bedroom we could see across Lontar palms to the bay.
Then, one morning I was hit with diarrhea with no warning - none of the usual rumbles and pains. Then next day muscle and joint pains and fever. The joint pains were worst, so that by the 3rd day I felt like an arthritic cripple.
On the fourth day, I got to the Internet and looked up Dengue Fever. The description left no doubt that this was my problem. The good news was that it should all be over in a week - so just 3 days to go.

The good news was that it should all be over in a week - so just 3 days to go. And this is how it was - on the 6th day the symptoms were fading. So it was an interesting episode that tended to make our Timor visit slower paced than we had planned - but it still was very enjoyable.
