Travel with Jen and Kate!
Arrived form Cuzco on the 3rd. Nice hotel in Puno - luxury showers! Puno nice lake resort town with tourist floaking to the main calle Lima. Loads of retaurants to chhose from. Went on pedalo swans which was lots of fun!!
5-6th LAKE TITIKAKA
jenny: I was sick from food the night before so not in the best state to travel on a boat! Visited 2 small floating islands just of the coast of Puno - really cool because they can move if need be! (kate: really interesting islands with a look out tower and everything made of reeds!! this was totally spoilt for my picturesque image of the place when on the next island there was a concrete minimart). Next was 3 bloodly hours on the boat to Amartani island! This lasted forever and i was feeling worse! (kate: the boat was boring, but had really nice views from up on the top of the boat). The island was really nice and we were met by our family - Yunatani. Our house was a good trek away!! We were given a private room which was sweet. Not much to do whilst waiting for lunch apart form play with their 3 yr old in the mud and dust! Lunch was soup and potatoes and cheese! I barely ate any! (kate: even though i was feeling fine the lunch wasnt very appetising!).
Walk to meet rest of the group - soup didnt settle and soon came up on route!! Climed to the top of the island and watched the sunset.
Dinner was a soup, rice, chips and dumplings! - enough carbs there! I didn't want to risk anything!
Dressed in typical dress - v funny and so tight! Went to a fiesta at the local community hall!
Early morning and boat across to taquila island. Walked up to main square then kingfiah for lunch then 550 steps down to boat! Feeling much better!
Boat back nice - at up top and relaxed!
Changed hostel to a cheaper one - Rossario - much to be desired! Met up with people from the island trip and had nice dinner together. 2 brits, 2 USA people and a professor form Mexico! After we searched for free drinks (pisco sours and rum n coke!) and move on after each on after each one! Wound up in discobar and danced the night away to cheesy pop classics!
