Pangandaran and The Rest of our Trip

23 Sep, Sat: Arrived at Bandung, rested at SIL's house before heading to the train station to make our way to Tasik. Had dinner at home and settled down. 

24 Sep, Sun: Lazy day. Hung out at home mostly. Had a massage but nothing compares to Ibu Made. 

25 Sep, Mon: Drove to Pangandaran and met some of +3's cousins and nieces / nephews. Checked in to the Laut Biru hotel. Had lunch at a noodle stall owned by the cousin, and later dinner at the restaurant at the hotel also run by the same cousin. 

Had a massive headache. Aiyo. I think the drive gave me motion sickness. Popped a couple of panadols and rested. 

26 Sep, Tue: Probably the best day of the entire trip. Had brekkie in the hotel, and walked across the road to the beach. This was babyAC's first time at the beach and HE LOVED IT. *squeal* He took to the water so naturally, enjoying having the waves splash at his feet (and legs, and body). Cried when we said we had to go back. 

Can't really remember where we had lunch, then headed to Batu Hiu (along the east beach) where it was so windy and the views across the sea were gorgeous. BabyAC really enjoyed it tpo. Dinner was at a restaurant at the inn of another cousin (or was he the nephew?).

We did a grocery run as well and the boy had a go at one of those car rides where you pay 2 coins. 

27 Sep, Wed: Back to Tasik. The ride back wasn't too uncomfortable. Dinner at home. MIL made prawns which gave me an allergic reaction. Had to force throw up, and took some zyrtec. 

28 Sep, Thu: BabyAC was running a fever at night but I was too zonked on my meds. +3 took him at 6+am and took care of him for a couple of hours while I rested. Then he had to leave to settle some paperwork for his IC and I took care of the little one. His fever came back and I had to ask my MIL (who was with +3) to take us to the doctor. 

Traveler's diarea, apparently. Doc gave some electrolytes, MIL went to buy some panadol, and I hugged the little one and tried to comfort him as best as I could. 

29 Sep, Fri: Poor boy was still having fever and the runs throughout the night, and I didn't get to sleep. +3 took over in the morning again, so I could rest, and then left to settle more paperwork. We took the train back to Bandung.

Supermama moment when I changed his poopy diaper in the train toilet. Luckily we decided to try to buy diaper pants, which made it easier to put on while standing up. 

My SIL arranged for Ibu Made to give us massages. +3 had his first, while I looked after babyAC. Poor kid was so fussy - I couldn't put him down and had to carry him for the entire hour. When +3 was done, Ibu Made asked if she could massage babyAC (of course! please do!) and she said that he had a lot of wind, and rubbed his back and belly with some oil. He cried during the massage, but passed out sleeping soon after! 

Ibu Made has magical hands. After working on my problem areas, I felt so much better and so refreshed. But apparently I need 3 days of intensive massage from her to really sort out all my problems. Need another holiday and stay in Bandung! 

Interestingly, babyAC woke up in the middle of the night and let out this mega fart. All that wind, probably. Glad he managed to let it out tho. 

30 Sep, Sat: We prepare to head back to Singapore. BabyAC slept the entire time on the flight, yay! 

== 

It's been almost a week since we got back and babyAC is almost back to 100%. We took him to the doctor back in Singapore and the doctor said that we just needed to let things run its course. 

He lost a lot of weight, though. So now we're going to have to fatten him up all over again.
