May 16 – Another day in paradise
Woke up at 9 to catch the buffet. Went for a four-hour hike around the
area that had us dare-devilling cliffsides, rock-climbing, and braving
barbed-wire. Back in time for lunch. Ate. Napped. Swam. Waited for Karin’s
boyfriend, Allister, and his party to show up (they should have been here
two days ago). Wandered around town learning Spanish. Found Allister and
group drinking heavily on their room’s balcony. They regaled us with the
tales of adventure expected from a two-week-long mountain bike excursion
through Bolivia. Not only had they dodged numerous attempts on their lives
by campesinos, but also endured food poisoning and numerous hangovers,
cruised through the Amazon jungle and boated down the Zongo river. The
reason they were late was because their shadow vehicle had taken out a
power line, blacking out out all of Coroico for half a day. There they
worked for two days with the locals helping fix the power and restore
the road so the two-day traffic jam could finally flow through.
We all went out to eat. They all drank. Then we all slept.
