Day 10: Puno to Sun Island (Lake Titicaca)


Mood: Rushed
Music: Various

This morning started with a bit of a shock as the alarm on my phone had failed to go off. I was woken by the phone ringing telling me that someone from the travel company was here to pick me up. I proceeded to rush around in a mad panic, thankfully I'd not unpacked too much and everything was quickly into bags and onto the bus.

We then travelled for a number of miles along the south side of the lake, stopping a couple of times in the small villages on the way to hear about the churches and some other historical buildings, until we reached the Bolivia border. Here we hopped off the bus, got our passports stamped on exiting Peru, walked over the Bolivia side, got out passports stamped and boarded another bus.

This took us down into the town of Copacabana where we visited the domed Basilica della Vergine di Copacabana. After wondering down through the streets from here we got on a hydrofoil and went to Sun Island via Moon Island on lake Titicaca. In the evening I climbed up to the highest point of the island but was let down in terms of a sunset by the rain clouds that were approaching from the west.

I'll leave this here for now.
