Relapse – back to the pharmacy. New pharmacist on duty and he prescribes something totally
different – a 5-day course of antibiotics – a grand total of 150 rupees ($2.30)
– Indian medicine is getting costly! Tim at the street-side pharmacy.
Views from the pharmacy front.
Decide to try and find a textile shop recommended in LP and top off our
rupees once we find the ATM. Can’t
find the textile shop and the ATM machine eats Tim’s card! No warning, no sign, nothing – just a
blank screen and a disappearing card.
The shopkeeper next to the ATM comes over and says ‘Oh yes, it does that
5 or 10 times a day. No problem,
you go to the bank and they will have your card.’
What??? Big
bummer. We get the address and
phone of the bank, the name of the manager and decide to just head home and
wait until the bank will have retrieved Tim’s card (‘any time after 3:30’
according to the shopkeeper).
Back out at 3:30, go to the bank and it’s closed!! Even bigger bummer. Back again tomorrow morning when they open at
9:30. Only in India . . .
