We stayed at the Wild
Rover Hostel in La Paz which had a bar so we had dinner and drinks there before
heading out. We met an Australian couple in the bar and we headed out with them.
We didn’t get back to the hostel until around 6am and unfortunately I was quite
sick and was up all morning hugging the toilet. At first I thought it was a
mixture of drinking and altitude but then I was way too sick for it to be that.
I couldn’t keep any liquid or food down all day and just ended up sleeping most
of the day. Ever since the trek most people had been sick at some point and
Louise hadn’t felt great for quite a few days. Most people get sick at some
point on their travels through South America because of the water and/or food.
We went to bed really early and luckily the next day I was feeling much better
but unfortunately Luke wasn’t. Louise and I explored the Witches Markets and we
finally bought some Alpaca jumpers. I also organised my Salt Flats Tour and booked
an overnight bus for the next night to Uyuni where the tour starts. Luke and
Louise had more time to travel Bolivia so they decided to go to the Amazon
first. Luke and Louise left around lunch time the next day to get their flight
and I decided to check out the Coca Museum. Unfortunately when I was walking my
wallet was stolen from my bag so I had to ring the bank to cancel my card and
then didn’t feel like doing much. Luckily I only had about $20 on me and I had another debit card. My bus was at 7pm so I went to grab some early dinner and
bumped into Louise and Luke again because their flight had been cancelled
because there was no fuel – only in South America!
