01/07/2019 - Mancora, Peru

We woke up and I felt well enough to happily sip a sachet of dioralyte and to have a shower for the first time in a few days. I managed to wash my hair (it was long needed), so the day was already off to a good start! We got up very slowly and walked into town to a café for Josh to have breakfast. I managed to keep some bread down (hooray!), and then we went to a beach café with some sunloungers, which I immediately fell asleep on in some shade for the rest of the afternoon. Josh had some coffees and read some chapters of a book he had picked up at our last hostel. We walked back home along the beach during the sunset and got in and showered. I still kept falling in and out of sleep so Josh ordered another takeaway pizza, knowing I wasn’t going anywhere soon. I got excited that my stomach had had a good day so ended up having a slice of pizza. I genuinely pooed myself, and then spent the next few hours running to and from the toilet. If there ever were any boundaries between Josh and I before, there certainly aren’t now! In my urgency I actually broke the seat of the toilet, which I still haven’t explained to our host out of embarrassment. The worst thing is that there are no real bricks or mortar, so the family definitely heard every time I used the toilet. Our host even offered to bring me a special tea at one point!
