I woke up around 6am and just lay in bed for about an hour listening to all the sounds. I slept really well although we had a storm in the night and I did hear the thunder a couple of times.

After breakfast we set off on a hike through the jungle to see if we could spot some more animals. It was really hot and humid and we didn’t see a huge amount of animals. We did see this common jungle spider, a ladybird type of bug, an owl eyed butterfly and a frog.

We also learnt about the fire ant tree. This is a tree where the fire ants live and if the ants leave the tree dies. The bark of the tree can be used in a tea to help with diarrhoea and vomiting. Not a good tree to hold onto though!

On the way back to the ecolodge I took a couple of photos of the cabins. The one at the bottom is the one Katrin and I stayed in.

The ecolodge has a couple of cats of its own, the black one is just like a little panther.

After lunch Katrin and I, with our guide, took another hike through the jungle. Ditte and Heinrick decided to chill out around the lodge.

As we walked along it started to rain but as the tree canopy was so dense very little rain actually got through for a while. However, we did shelter for a little bit when it got really heavy. But it was actually quite refreshing after all the heat and humidity.

After an hour or so we reached the river where Juan Carlos and another guy from the lodge showed us how the indigenous people used to make rafts. We then donned life jackets and jumped onto the homemade raft.

It was actually pretty stable. After a few minutes we all jumped in the water and swam for a bit – I say swim but actually you just got carried along by the current. Inbetween, when the water was too rough or to shallow we hopped back onto the raft or held onto it. At one point it was a bit like white water rafting and I got thrown off the raft.

But we all made it safely back to dry land.

After swimming in the muddy water we took a shower and then met up with the others for dinner.

Again, it was an early night as if you sit outside for too long you get bitten by the mosquitos. Luckily there are not many of them in the cabins.

When I woke up this morning I was feeling much better, still not 100% but good enough. So I packed up my bags again and deposited them in the hotel storage before heading off to Max Adventure offices. On the way I bought some croissants from the French bakery for everyone. I had one with a cup of coffee when I got to the offices.

We were introduced to our guide Juan Carlos, and we had a new girl, Katrin from Germany, join the group in place of Madlene.

We walked down to the River Beni and got on a motorboat to go to Madidi national park, i.e. the jungle.

Once at the park we were welcomed by one of the park rangers who explained all about the park. There are 6 entrances to the park and only 26 rangers working across it. There are also 34 indigenous communities still living within the park. Only some of the park is open to tourists, much of it is unavailable and protected.

Whilst at the park entrance we met a coati who was very friendly and wanted to play with us, he was like a little puppy.

This is Katrin playing with him but we all had a turn.

We also saw a red macaw wandering around.

We hopped back on the boat and drove for around another hour to camp, which is another beautiful ecolodge.

We had some lunch before heading off on a short hike into the forest. It was amazing to just be wandering through the jungle listening to all the sounds – sometimes it sounded like it was raining but it was actually the monkeys moving around in the trees. We saw and heard some wild pigs too – they were really noisy grunting and clicking their teeth to warn each other we were there.

One of the birds we saw was a black tailed tragoon.

We also saw some playful brown capuchin monkeys.

We saw loads of spiders too, some of which were poisonous. There were also lots of poisonous caterpillars along the walkway to see the macaws.

At the macaw look out we were facing a wall with holes which are where the nests are. Using binoculars you could see the young macaws inside and then the parents would come and feed them. I tried to get photos but they were quite far away.

We saw loads of other animals and birds too including Amazon Squirrel, golden silk spider, huge mosquitos (the size of your fist), wood creeper, black-fronted nimba, bullet ants, squirrel monkeys and blue throat pippin chicken.

We also saw lots of different trees, one of the biggest ones we saw was an elephant leg tree. We also saw fig trees, some of which are being strangled by parasite trees. One of the interesting trees was a walking palm tree which can walk across the forest. Basically it regrows it’s roots and the old ones decompose so it moves along the forest floor.

We came back to the lodge and had some dinner before setting off again on a night walk. We saw a water spider, a tree frog, a smokey jungle frog, an illea frog ( or something that sounded like that). Right towards the end we saw an Amazonian tree boa.

After all the walking we were very hot and sweaty so we went to have a shower. As we got to the shower there was a small boa snake, around 2m long but very thin, on the outside of the shower wall. Alongside it was a banana spider which apparently is very poisonous, it certainly didn’t look very friendly!

The cabins are lovely and the beds are very comfy.

Unfortunately today was not such a good day for me. I had stomach cramps in the night and felt really nauseous. When we got up I found out that Madlene had been feeling really ill too. She was actually a lot worse than me. We though it might be the python fruit we ate yesterday but the other two were fine and they ate them too.

So for breakfast Choco made some parsley and orange tea which is supposed to help with an upset stomach – it was soothing but didn’t do too much for me. Madlene was sick so decided not to come to see the dolphins with us.

As we went out of the room to go to the boat we saw another crocodile- again really close to the walkway we were standing on. This one had a bit of a broken tail.

We went up river and found a little spot where 3 dolphins kept popping up. Ditte and I got into the water – after reassurance that both crocodiles and piranhas preferred the shallow waters. The water was lovely and warm and we swam around trying to get close to the dolphins. The dolphins were curious but also a little shy and the closest I got was around 1 metre away from them. It was amazing to be in the water with them and see them swimming around you.

They are really hard to get a photo of as they only pop up for a few seconds.

After our dolphin expedition we went back to the lodge and had a shower. It was then lunch time but all I could manage was a bread roll.

We then packed up all our belongings and got on the boat. Another couple joined us as they only did two days in the pampas.

Around 15 minutes away from where the boat docked we had a tropical rainstorm and we all got completely soaked. It felt freezing when we got off the boat but once we got our bags I changed into some dry clothes and felt a lot warmer.

It was then a two hour jeep ride back to the Max Adventure office. We stopped on the way again at the same place and the poor dogs looked just as sad as before.

At the office, we wrote up an evaluation and were given a small present (keyring) made locally. The owner was lovely and offered to drive me back to my hotel and get me some medicine. To be honest I think I just need to be sick and then I’ll feel much better.

I walked back to my hotel, picked up my bags from storage and checked in. I popped out to get some water and some bread rolls in case I felt like eating later. I saw a tiny kitten on the way home – again it looked way to small to be apart from its mum. I wish I could look after all these poor animals.

Anyway, when I got back to the room, I had a shower, washed some clothes and laid down in bed. There was some march/ protest going on in the town and you could hear it from the hotel – I couldn’t make out what they were protesting about though.

So lots of water and an early night for me. I need to feel better tomorrow as I start the 3 day jungle tour!

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel I packed up my bags, left most of my belongings in storage at the hotel and headed off to the Max Adventure office. I met up with Ditte and Heinrick from yesterday and another girl, Madlene from Germany. We were introduced to our guide Choco (real name Marco) and our driver whose name I didn’t catch.

With our bags packed into the jeep we started on our 3 hour journey to Santa Rosa. I thought the long drive would be pretty boring but we spotted so many animals and birds along the way, thanks to Choco and the driver.

First we saw some black vultures, they look like executioners as they have a black hood. We also saw some capybaras by the side of the road.

About half way into the journey we stopped to stretch our legs and made friends with some pigs and dogs. It was a bit sad as the animals didn’t look very healthy or well looked after.

As we continued on our journey we saw a sloth high up in the trees (circled in the photo below) and some egrets. The sloth could be seen better via the good camera with zoom lens that Heinrick had.

The road itself is undergoing major construction work as it often gets flooded in the rainy season so they are trying to raise up the whole road – it is currently work in progress.

When we arrived in Santa Rosa we had lunch at a little restaurant and then made our way down to where we would catch the boat and start our pampas adventure. At the boatyard there was a cute little bird that kept going to her nest to feed her young.

The journey in the boat was amazing and so peaceful with such beautiful scenery.

Our guide was brilliant. He spotted so many birds and animals that I found really difficult to see even when he was pointing to them.

The photos below are of a Hoitzin (these were everywhere and became a bit like pigeons back home after a while), a casique nest hanging from the tree, a Jacana, a crested caracara, tiger herons and my favourite so far – blue ani.

We also saw some black collared hawks which were very majestic birds.

Our guide also spotted a turtle basking in the sun on top of a rock.

As we continued on our journey we came across a tree full of squirrel monkeys. They were really playful and some of them even jumped onto the front of the boat.

We also saw a red howler monkey. The red ones are normally female and the black ones are male.

After a few hours we arrived at our lodge which would be our home for the next couple of days.

At the lodge we had some snacks before heading out to the ‘sunset bar’. As the name suggests we took a seat, drank a cold beer and watched the sun set over the pampas – beautiful.

However, as soon as the sun went down the mosquitos came out, I must have been bitten at least thirty times even after dousing myself in bug spray! They even bit through my clothing and they love black!

Anyway, on the way back to the lodge we went crocodile hunting. You can see the crocodile eyes in the flashlights as they reflect the light. We managed to see a couple. The lotus flowers also opens at night so there was a lovely perfumey smell in the air too.

When we got back to the lodge we had dinner and then we all headed off to bed as we were so tired. Luckily we had mosquito nets to sleep under and pretty comfortable beds.

We saw a lot more birds and animals that I couldn’t get photos of but these included Amazonas kingfisher, tyra (Black panther like cat), turkey vulture, rhea, herons, black casique, black eagle, parakeets, cormoran, cardinal and probably a few more that I missed. It was just so incredible seeing all these animals and birds in the wild!

I actually slept really well. I woke up a couple of times in the night as we had a bit of a storm and the thunder was really loud and the lightening was quite bright. When I woke up properly and took my earplugs out it was fantastic to hear all the jungle noises.

It was still raining when I got up but not too bad, so I went and had a cold shower. When I got back and changed there were people standing outside my room as this little guy had decided to pay us a visit. The steps in the photo literally are just by the room I was in.

And after eating breakfast another crocodile came to visit.

I think it’s the closest I’ve ever been to a wild crocodile.

After breakfast we packed our day bags and put on long sleeves, trousers and wellies as we were off to find some Anacondas. These large snakes are often found in the swampy, mosquito infested areas of the pampas.

Again out guide proved invaluable as minutes after stepping into the swampy area he found an Anaconda in the hole of the tree. If you shone a torchlight down the hole you could see the light reflect off the snake’s skin. From the size of the scales Choco thought the snake was around two and a half meters long. This is where the Anaconda was:

As we wandered around the swamp we saw an owl, I think it’s some kind of screech owl.

After a few more minutes Choco found another Anaconda hiding in a log. By this time another tour group had arrived so both the guides tried to tempt the snake out of the log, but he wasn’t going to come out.

So we shined the flashlights in the hole and could see the blue, grey colour of snake skin. They estimated the Anaconda was one and a half meters long.

We decided it was time to move on and on the way back to the lodge we saw another Caiman hiding under a different lodge. Choco decided to stroke him.

We also saw a black howler monkey. He seemed to be on his own without any females.

After a delicious and filling lunch we had time to chill a bit so we laid in the hammocks and read.

Before setting off again we saw a beautiful green lizard.

Then it was off to go piranha fishing. First we meandered through the pampas- it’s so lovely in the boat when the sun is shining but there’s also a cool breeze. We saw a cormoran drying it’s wings after the rain, more turtles and also several pink dolphins. These river dolphins are quite shy and you only see them briefly when they come up to breathe.

We also saw another sloth. Believe me there was a sloth in the tree as we saw it move!

We then got really close to two baby tiger herons by the side of the river. They were not pleased to see us and hissed at us a little bit.

We eventually found a good spot for fishing. At this first spot I didn’t catch anything but Choco caught a couple and both Ditte and Heinrick caught a small piranha each.

We then moved onto a second spot and I managed to catch a slightly larger piranha. As I tried to unhook it from the fishing line it bit me – it has very sharp teeth. Choco took it and killed it. I caught two more after this but they were too small so they went back in the water. One of them had the hook in its stomach so that wasn’t very pleasant.

We used meat as bait and old style fishing lines. It was quite exciting but I did feel sorry for the fish.

We then headed out to another part of the sunset bar to watch the sun go down. Again, a very beautiful sunset.

For dinner we had our small piranhas. Luckily they had also cooked other food as they would not have been enough to feed us all. They were quite tasty though.

Again, during the day we saw a lot of other birds and animals that I couldn’t capture on my phone. These included a green kingfisher, blue and yellow macaws, large bellied tern, yellow robed casique, wood rail and aninga.

It was another early night and tomorrow I hope to be swimming with dolphins. Although I know there are piranhas and crocodiles in the water too- but I’m sure it’ll be fine!

Most of today was spent at the airport. My flight from La Paz to Rurrenabaque was delayed by an hour but the journey itself only takes 45 minutes. The views from the plane show the diversity of the landscape from city to snow topped mountains and then to jungle. The plane window wasn’t very clean so the photos aren’t that great.There is also a huge drop in altitude, which is great as it means I can walk around without feeling out of breath and a lovely rise in temperature, it’s about 30 degrees in Rurrenabaque.The plane we flew with was quite small and only half full and the airport at Rurre is tiny.I met a couple from Denmark on the plane, Ditte and Heinrick, and they decided to book the same tour as me into the pampas and the jungle. So we all went to Max Adventure to get a low down of the tour and to pay for it – it sounds fantastic.After that I checked into my hotel which is quite luxurious compared to the hostels, and luckily my room has air con. The pool looks lovely but I haven’t tried it out yet and they have a couple of parrots in the garden. They’re quite noisy but I’m hoping they’ll sleep in the evening.I then had a little stroll around the town, it looks really nice, and watched the sun go down over the river Beni.This is the view from my balcony, it’s all very pretty. I saw a couple of bats fly past too.In the evening I wandered back down the river and stopped at a small restaurant, La Cabaña, for some fish. The dish was enormous – a whole huge grilled fish, the normal helping of double carbs (chips and rice) and some salad. I couldn’t manage it all. As I was eating a little girl came up to me and we had a brief conversation about cats and dogs.This was the view of the river on the way home.Tomorrow I’m off into the Pampas for 3 days followed by 3 days in the jungle. I won’t have Wi-Fi during this time but I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.

This morning Louisa, Adam, Marion and I decided to go on the city walking tour. We met another girl, Bridget from Australia who knew Adam and Louisa, at the tour too.

The tour started in San Pedro square which is really called Sucre square. The square has a lovely church on one side but the main attraction is the San Pedro prison which is the pink building in the photo below.

The prison is very unique in that the prisoners basically run it themselves. There are around 10 guards but they only guard the perimeter of the prison. The prisoner’s wives and children also live in the prison but they are obviously free to come and go as they please. There is a small school on the square too where the children from the prison go. Obviously there are times when violent crimes are committed within the prison but they are not as frequent as you would expect.

There is a drug problem though as drugs are often smuggled into or out of the prison via the family members but also thrown into the square from the roof of the prison. The prisoner’s need to have money as they have to pay rent for their cells and for other creature comforts.

Tours used to be able to go into the prison but this was banned a few years ago as prisoners were giving the tourists cocaine on the way out.

Following this exciting start to the tour we then made our way to the local markets which are so colourful and sell all sorts of fruit and veg. In Bolivia there are over 30 different varieties of potatoes including dehydrated potatoes which can then be kept for 20-30 years without going rotten.

We learnt about the traditional dress of the women in Bolivia- the Cholitas.

Bowler hat: apparently when the British arrived to build the railways they ordered some bowler hats for the workers. Unfortunately the hats that arrived were very small so instead of wasting them a few of the men persuaded the women in Bolivia that the hats were the latest fashion and the trend took off. If the hat is worn on top of the head and is straight it means the woman is engaged or married, if it is worn on one side the women is single and on the other side she is a widow. If it is more to the back of the head it means she is in a complicated relationship.

Skirts: the puff skirts make the women’s hips look larger which symbolises fertility. A lot of the women wear several skirts. The most beautiful part of a woman is considered to be her calf so the skirts also cover the woman’s calves.

Hair: the women all wear their hair long and often add extensions to make it even longer. Long hair is beautiful but also represents strength and wisdom.

Women judge men on the thickness of their hair, how they strong they are and if they have a little bit of a stomach as this implies a certain amount of wealth.

The next stop on the tour was the witches market. This is now combined with handicraft stalls which cater for tourists but our guide told us that the locals still come here to buy the things they need to make offerings to Pachamama. This market has all kinds of potions and powders which can help you with a whole range of problems. Many of the objects are related to luck, love, fertility or money.

One of the most haunting things you see at this market is the dried baby llamas. Whenever a new building is being constructed the Bolivians bury a baby llama in the foundations. This is a ritual known as cha’lla and is an offering to Pachamama. It is said to protect the building and the workers as well as bring good luck and prosperity. One of the more worrying things is that for larger buildings a baby llama is not sufficient so a human sacrifice is required. Our guide told us that a ‘higher’ Sharman and two accomplices will go to an area where homeless people hang out. They will befriend a homeless person and get them completely drunk. They will then take them to the foundations of the building and lay them face down in the prepared hole where the ritual to Pachamama will take place. Once the ritual is complete they will cover the person in concrete as part of the foundations. The person has to be alive at the time of burial and they have to be a person that nobody will miss. Although nobody admits to undertaking this ritual human remains are often found in the foundations of buildings.

The next stop was San Fransesco church. When the Spaniards invaded they encouraged the indigenous people to build a church. This church combines Catholicism and the original beliefs as some of the carvings depict Pachamama.

Inside the church there are lots of mirrors. The Spaniards placed these inside the church as the indigenous people believed that part of their soul was inside the mirror so they kept coming back to the church.

It was then time for a little snack so we stopped at another market – Mercado Lanza where we had a delicious avocado sandwich and a massive glass of fresh mango juice.

After refreshments it was on to the main square. We heard a lot about the political history of Bolivia. Over a period of 200 years of independence Bolivia has had 179 presidents. One president who was actually quite nice said something along the lines of not being an enemy to the poor. The rich people in Bolivia took offence at this and dragged the president out of the office and hung him from a lamppost in the square. They later realised their mistake and constructed a memorial to him at the lamppost. In total Bolivians have killed 7 of their presidents and presidents no longer live in the presidential palace at the square.

In around 2003 the president (who is the current president) introduced an income tax including on those earning minimum wage. There was a huge protest and as the police were affected (they earned minimum wage) they joined the protesters. The government called in the army and there was a lot of firing across the square resulting in 6 deaths and over 200 people injured. You can still see some of the bullet holes in the buildings.

The clock in the government building goes backwards. Apparently the president said this is more in tune with the old sun dials.

We then went to a local restaurant where the guides told us about some of the good and not so good things about the current president.

After the tour Marion and I went back to the witches market and I bought a new jumper (although fitting it in the rucksack will be difficult!). We stopped for a hot chocolate and Belgian waffle at Cafe del Munde. The hot chocolate was delicious as they made it with orange and cinnamon.

In the evening we met up with Adam, Louisa and Bridget and went to the only Vietnamese restaurant in Bolivia – Vinapho. The food was so nice and it was good to have something completely different.

We arrived in La Paz at 730am. Adam and Louisa were staying at the same hostel as me so we shared a taxi. The taxi driver didn’t know where the hostel was exactly and he took a bit of a detour, he then tried to charge us more than the price we’d agreed but we didn’t pay it.

When we arrived we were all pretty tired and you could feel the altidute as La Paz is at 3,600m. Lisa, the German girl I’d met in Sucre, came and sat with us as we drank coffee and tried to wake up as we couldn’t check in until midday.

We decided we would join Lisa and her friend Marion and take a trip to the El Alto markets.

To get there you can take the cable cars. We walked to the start of the white line, changed to the orange line and then changed again to the red line to take us to the market. The views from the cable cars were amazing.

We got to El Alto pretty quickly and we were now at just over 4,000m and you could feel it quite a bit.

El Alto is the largest city in Latin America inhabited by indigenous Americans and it is the highest major metropolis in the world. El Alto is an economical centre in its own right.

On March 6, 1987, El Alto was politically separated from the city of La Paz and it became a self- governing entity. The population of El Alto is around 1 million which I think is larger than the population of La Paz.

Like most tourists the main attraction for going to El Alto was to visit the market which is open every Thursday and Sunday. This is the biggest market in Bolivia and stretches over 5km.

It literally sells everything including car parts, clothes, DVDs, medical equipment, food, shoes, toiletries etc. I bought some shoelaces but that was all.

We decided to try some of the food at the market and it was actually really tasty and very cheap.

We also came across this little church as we walked through the market, I thought it looked really pretty.

We caught a different cable car down, the yellow line, in order to get some different views over the city.

Once we got back to the hostel I tried to have a little sleep but only really dozed for a few minutes.

In the evening I met up with Adam and Louisa and we went for some pizza which was delicious as it was all made thete and then and with lovely fresh ingredients.

So the first thing I did this morning when I got up was go and pick up my laundry so I could then pack my bags and check out. Jackie, the owner of the hostel was worried that my night bus might not be running as it was over Easter so she said she would ring and check. Luckily everything seemed to be in order.

After check out I wandered into the centre and met up with John from Ireland who I’d met a few days ago on the walking tour. We were off to see the dinasours.

The journey to get there was an experience in itself. We hailed down the number four bus and paid 15p to travel around 45mins to the dinasour park. On the way we went through a local market which was really colourful and the fruit looked amazing.

We arrived at the park just after 12pm. The park itself is next to a cement factory which is how the footprints were originally discovered.

The tour in English was supposed to start at 12pm but luckily for us it didn’t start until 1230pm so we were able to join it.

We learnt that around 68 million years ago there was a diverse population of dinasours living on, and stomping around in, the soft clay shores of a vast ocean inlet which came in as far as Sucre. As the clay dried, the footprints left behind by the dinasours became stone and eventually disappeared under layers of sediment.

Over time shifting tectonic plates formed the Andes mountain range which eventually pushed back the ocean. So what was once a flat clay beach became a near vertical limestone cliff.

As we walked around the park thete were life size replicas of some of the dinasours.

There was also a small museum which housed a t-rex skeleton (not real) and some footprints, the largest one being over 1 metre long.

Then it was off to see the main attraction of the park – the footprints themselves. There are over 5000 footprints set into the Cal Orck’o cliff.

The footprints remained covered until The 1990s when the cement company were mining away the sedimentary layers for production of concrete. The mining stopped just short of the layers which contained the footprints – these layers were unsuitable for making concrete. Erosion then stripped away the remaining layers to reveal the footprints, some up to 80cm long, and from 15 different species of dinasours.

The cliff face has a 347 metre continuous trail of footprints made by a baby t-rex, apparently known as Johnny Walker.

In 2010 a section of the wall broke off revealing yet more tracks underneath. It is believed there are multiple layers of tracks below those that are visible. The park is currently seeking UNESCO world heritage site status which would then help conserve and protect the site.

The views from the site were pretty amazing too.

On return from the park I went back to the central market and bought some food for the 12 hour bus journey ahead. I then got a taxi to the bus station. The system here was very confusing. You have to drop your bag at a drop off point where it is weighed and then later lowered down to the buses on the lower levels. I made sure my bag was on the bus before I got on! There were also a number of buses from the same company going to La Paz at roughly the same time so it was hard to tell what bus was your one. I met another couple from the UK, Louisa and Adam, and we were all on the same bus.

I bought a blanket as I had heard the bus got very cold – I was glad I did.

I slept some of the journey, but to be honest not very much.

I woke up earlier than I needed to although I slept really well and the blankets kept me nice and warm.

It was good I got up and used the bathroom when I did as the electricity didn’t turn on until later so the water pump didn’t work which means the toilets didn’t flush – I still caught it with water from the night before.

Once dressed I put my still wet shoe and sock out to dry and then cuddled the cats who fell asleep on my lap. They were so sweet.

After a breakfast of purple corn drink, which was quite thick and very tasty, and sweet bread we set off on our hike.

The first stop was at Don Crispin’s house. His original house he has converted into a museum with a whole range of archaeological finds including old arrows, jewellery, pottery, fossils and dinasour bones. He was very passionate about his collection and even showed us some human bones he had recently discovered in a field he was using to grow crops.

The first few kms of the hike were up and down with flat bits but we also climbed up for about an hour. The views were just as amazing as yesterday. The first photo below is of the hostel.

We passed a couple of waterfalls and I managed to catch a rainbow in one of them..

I really like this photo as the hills look like they have been painted.

After around 8km of walking the bus came along and we all jumped on for a short ride to the community of Quilla Quilla. We stopped here for lunch which we ate on the bandstand.

Quilla Quilla is famous for being the site where the indigenous rebel leader Tomas Katari was executed in 1781.

We then hopped back on the bus for the ride back to Sucre which took just over an hour.

The communities we passed through were Jalq’a communities. They live very basic lives in remote areas. Many of the traditions of the community are dying out as the younger generations move into the cities such as Sucre.

The company I did this hike with, Condor Trekking, are a not for profit organisation and they invest any profit they do make back into the communities we pass through including building and equipping schools, proving water pipes and supporting the communities in a variety of other ways.

Once I got back to Sucre I went back to the hostel, washed my clothes, my shoes and myself and had an early night – which was actually a good thing as we had lots of rain and storms in the night.
