What's your worst experience on holiday?
I was out in cairns last year when after a 5 day liveaboard we went out on the town to celebrate... sat outside of O'Reiley's at a table, a little worse for wear(!), I got myself bitten on the hand by a spider.
Feeling a tad drunk I went back to the hostel to sleep it off.
The next day I woke up with my hand inflamed and one of my fingers dark blue! Feeling nervous about going to the docs I stupidly left it for 4 days before plucking up the 'courage' to go see one. The doc took one look and then told me that if I'd left it any longer it could have got very serious. I then spent the next several days in and out of hospital before checking myself out and getting on a plane straight back to Thailand.
Definetely a case of ignorance NOT being bliss!
