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.

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)

03-07-09
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.

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).
