Laundry on the run

I had to do some laundry before heading out on this 4 day trip around the Uyuni province...leaving at 8:30 in the morning...yikes!
Both my long sleeve shirts were nasty and so were my....well, other things were too.
I did my laundry in the sink and then rinsed them as I took my shower. I tried to wring them out as much as I could and brought them into my room. Hmmmm, the only place to hang anything was the curtain rod and the coat rack. I did what I could and went to the internet cafe.
About an hour later I came back to my room to hit the sack - lord knows what kind of sleeping accoms these folks considered "basic" - everything was still pretty wet and I knew that they weren´t going to make it. Damn. Drastic measures had to be taken. I put some wet clothes on and went to bed.
Ok, ok...I know, I know...I´m the cleverest person ever. No? That´s not what you were thinking? Hey, the human body creates lots of heat - especially while under lovely thick blankets, it dries stuff really efficiently!
I woke up in the middle of the night and swapped with the rest of the wet stuff since what I was wearing was already dry (see, told ya).
Admittedly, it´s not the most comfortable initially, but you get over it quickly and it is effective.
The next morning I had fresh clean, if somewhat wrinkly outfit to wear...for the next 4 days.
