Translation of gauche in German

It was after midnight when we finally could go to bed and rest a little. It was good that the search for a better room turned out to be funny and amuzing so that we did not feel sorry about it.
We were not the only tourists, there were a many boats sailing on the same route. At one point the driver stopped the boat and immediately children of the village people approached us.
At noon we continued to the Altiplano to visit some lakes and volcanoes. At 4000 meter above see level it became suddenly extremely cold and our heads started to spin. Altitude sickness?
