Bunk beds at Onkell Inn
I can't get up there!
Pas capable maudite marde (juste pour toi psycho chose)Quel beau voyage! La sainte paix de Montréal à Miami et de Miami à La Paz. En arrivant ce matin, la vue de l'avion a été spectaculaire. Au fait on contourne les Andes pour aller atterir sur une plaine et en suite descendre en auto dans la vallée où se trouve la ville. De part et d'autre, collés sur la terre en pente, se trouve des centaines et des milliers de maisons rouges construites en hauteur. Il ya des rues, des ruelles, des gens, des couleurs, des textures, du traffic et des gens (surtout les japonais) qui portent des masques.
Mais c'est plutôt du mal d'altitude que j'aimerais vous parler. On a l'impression d'avoir fait la fête sans le plaisir d'avoir bu! Peut-être c'est comme reçevoir un morceau de béton de la 40 sur la tête. LOL!!!!! Pour tout effort cardiaque, impossible aujourd'hui. L'auberge où je me trouve est en haut d'une pente!!! Pour descendre ça va bien, remonter c'est une autre paire de manches. Il me manque de souffle. Le plus drôle a été de constater que je ne puisse pas monter dans le bunk du haut pour faire une sieste. Plus facile de changer les draps sur le
C'est mieux ça!
Aaaah!
Finally! bunk du bas et démenager!
What a great trip! P & Q from Montreal to Miami and then on to La Paz. The view this morning from the plane was spectacular. They fly round the mountains to land on a plain up top. Only then do you really see La Paz. Like a blanket over a sleeping baby, the houses, thousands and thousands of them, cling to the sides of the hills, very steep ones too. They spread up rather than out. All of a sudden you are surrounded by people, places, buildings, things, colours, textures, noises and, especially, Japanese people wearing masks.
The things that hit me like a ton of bricks today is the altitude sickness. Just like feeling hungover without the pleasure of getting drunk in the first place. As for cardiac effort, forget it! I was out of breath just going up 11 steps this morning after arriving. The inn where I am staying tonight is at the top of a slope. Walking down is ok. Coming back up is a totally different ball game. The funniest thing though was the realisation that I would not be able to climb up into the top
bunk I had been assigned. Tried twice and failed!!! Changed the sheets onto a lower unoccupied bunk. OMG I can't get up!

Had to laugh at the fact that you couldn't get in your bed. When I had altitude sickness I just had a massive headache not pleasant but i'm sure it will pass? It did for me when I started to descend. Glad to see you have arrived and survived your plane and bus trip!!! How long before you start work? I have just volunteered to work in the Sally Army Kitchen whilst paid work is quiet. I start on Monday!! I will be serving food to old people.
