Saved by Loperamide
During our stay in the jungle we must have eaten something wrong, as not only we, but also Caren and Bradley (the couple we travelled through the rainforest with), are having some problems.
As a dietician I of course feel more like just eating well and let your body fight the problem. But as we had a 20-hours busride ahead of us, in a bus without toilet, I put myself on a diet of eating nothing and taking Loperamide tablets. Luckily Jannis wasn´t too bad and could manage the busride with just being careful. This is how we managed to arrive back here in La Paz without any ´accidents’.
Unfortunatly by this time also Jannis seems to get worse as well, so we will stay here a couple of more days to recover. This has given us somr time to arrange our flight back home (Sunday June 14) and publishing our pictures of Paraguay on our Flickr-webpage). So by now we’re ‘only’ still a month behind with publishing our pictures 😉 That’s the positive site of having stomach problems.
It seems that having problems is, even though we’ve been very careful, something every traveller going to Bolivia has to go through….
Love Martine.

Goed dat er loperamide bestaat om wat comfortabeler een lange reis uit te zitten. Het heeft mij gered op de vlucht van Sydney naar Shanghai. Kijk alleen uit dat je niet teveel van dat spul neemt !!
