I have taken the first dose of the cholera juice. It certainly smelt like raspberry but the thing that made it hard to drink was not the taste, but the fizziness. Anyway dose 1 of 2 is done so the end is in sight. The second dose remains in the fridge - hidden amongst the tasty food. I am due to take it at the end of the week which I am clearly really looking forward to. I am not a great fan of fizzy water at the best of times, so the cholera vaccine infusion hasn't made it any better. If only it was a vaccine that went on a sugar lump and swallowed that way. When taking cholera juice you have to not eat for an hour before or an hour after, so you truly get to savour the lack of taste in the super fizzy mix. Luckily the travel nurse told me to make it in a big glass (with 150ml of water) because sometimes it fizzes over. I am not going to miss the vaccination process, but I wouldn't travel without having had them. So there is your cholera vaccine update, as promised in an earlier blog.
