• Jeep tour: day three - Anna gets sick

    6. kesäkuuta 2015, Bolivia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I still had a poorly tummy in the morning but my breathlessness and aching body had gone. Anna was also suffering from a poorly tummy so we both skipped breakfast which was pancakes :( Instead I had a rehydration sachet (yum!) and the cook tried to make me drink some tea but I couldn't manage much.

    Our first stop was a site of oddly shaped rocks. Within 10 steps of getting out of the car I threw up :( I saw this as a good sign that I'd expelled the problem but apparently not...

    Then we visited (can't remember order) lake with flamingos, semi-active volcano which was blowing smoke (from a distance), more lagoons, and saw a fox. I felt better than yesterday (at lower altitude) but still poorly. Sometimes I managed to get out the car but often I didn't have the energy.

    I had a yoghurt and a few sips of coke which made me sick again.

    We stayed the night in a salt hostel at about 3,700m - supposedly made of salt but I'm not so sure they hadn't just pasted some bricks with a layer of salt. For 10B we had a welcome hot but weak shower then both went straight to bed at about 6pm without any dinner. I had a bit of a restless sleep but it was markedly warmer than the previous night which was good.
