July 13th 2009 20:25
29-06-09


Kaola Den Hostel (35 per person) = 70

Vegetables and bread = 10

Sausages and cheese = 7

Wine = 18

Olives = 2

Water = 3.5

Half another bottle of wine = 10

We changed another 500 US Dollars at the better exchange rate of 6.5 (still well under the official rate of 7). So our daily budget is up to 390 Bols.

Total = 120.5 (269.5 under budget)

30-06-09

Bus from Potosi to Sucre (17 per person) = 34


Bus tax (2 per person) = 4

Toliet = 1

Backpackers Sucre Hostel (35 per person) = 70

Lunch = 24

Ice cream = 5

Fags = 12

Internet = 1

White powder = 75 (Shared with a mate)

Bag of green = 150

Bar bill = 40

Both the white and green were good stuff. While not the cheapest, we really wanted some recreation. We got it in spades. My brain was flying when we finally tried to get some sleep at 4am.

Total = 415 (25 over budget)

01-07-09

Hostel = 70

Lunch = 20

Passport photos = 10 (We had to get some more because Waka had hers stolen when somebody took our day bag in Argentina).

Internet = 3.5

Supermarket = 37

Wine = 25

Total = 165.5 (224.5 under budget)

02-07-09

Hostel = 70

Bus tickets from Sucre to La Paz (90 per person) = 180

Supermarket = 26

Supermarket = 100

Total = 376 (14 under budget)

03-07-09


Antibiotics = 35
I spent all the previous night shitting until only brown water came out. I felt really drained and sick. The cause is unknown but my sulphurous burps reminded me of when I got giardia in India. I suspect the antibioitics werenīt too good for me either. I took them for 3 days and had terrible stomach burn. Anyway, what a fine time to catch a night bus to La Paz.

Shopping = 12.5

Lunch for 1 = 9

Internet = 1

Taxi to coach station = 7.5

Total = 65 (325 under budget)

04-07-09

Taxi = 14

Hostel Repubblica (dorm beds 60 per person) = 120

Saltenas = 8

Tea = 1

Lunch = 44

Water & coke = 8.5

Laundry = 27.5
We are pissed off that the further we go on our journey the less places provide a sink for us to do our own laundry. The fascists plaster the walls with signs saying no washing clothes. Naturally I feel compelled to break such rules and do a couple of articles in the shower with me.

Beers = 14 (I couldnīt drink this because I was still too sick from either the shits or the medicine).

Crisps and fags = 6

Total = 243 (147 under budget)

Running Totals

Actually spent = 3,992.8 Argentine Pesos ($1,079) and 3,116 Bols (@6.35 = $491) and 1,385 Bols (@6.5 = $213)

Total = $1,783

Budget = 5,772 Argentine Pesos ($1,560) and 2,667 Bols ($420) and 1,560 Bols ($240)

Total = $2,220

Difference = $437 UNDER BUDGET
