there is no shut off for the bath area. If you cannot fix the handle then you will be with out water till the end of your trip.

Do you have any plumbing parts? Or any kind of tubing? Bolts, teflon tape and hose clamps? Just throwing out ideas of something you may have. If you pull the faucet completely out you can take the water lines off and try to cap them or hook them together.

Ok.....water back on.....upon further inspection the whole handle is broke off.....if I put pressure down inside I could stop the water from leaking....so.....I cut a broom handle and wedged it against the back wall.....bingo.....
