2 - 4 June... BBC2 - Bolivian Belly in Copacabana

Matt says...

Ooops, she did it again (and again, and again)! Alas, Lynne has failed to shrug off whatever stomach bug she picked up over a week ago so we are holed up in Copacabana on the shore of Lake Titicaca until it finally vamoses. (Vamos = we/let´s go in Español).

The illness has finally involved a trip to Copacabana General Hospital where gastroenteritis was diagnosed yesterday by a doctor dressed from head to toe in white and a course of antibiotics, anti-stomach ache pills and sachets of rehydration powder were prescribed. The good news is that after nine days of 'unsure' bowel movements and hopeless attempts at keeping any food inside for longer than four hours, the patient is slowly getting back to normal and tomorrows trip to the Isla del Sol can hopefully go ahead unimpeded.

So, the lesson learned is don´t trust the street food in La Paz. The doctor at the hospital assured us that it was probably one of the aforementioned Hamburgeezers that was to blame. Problem is they´re just so damn tasty.....
