Satin Shoes Go Camping
Oh gawd, this is a nightmare! Spent a v long time constructing awesome post covering about 2 weeks, then stupid computer deleted it, so now am a whopping 3 weeks behind or soemthing and will have to do swift recap of the rest of Peru, Bolivia and Chile....disappointing because don't have diary here and will have to miss much fun stuff out but hey, you'll just all have to come and visit me if you want all the details!
Left off last time in Cusco. Headed from Cusco towards Lake Titicaca where we had one night in Puno (ominous hostel room number 101) and went off on a boat trip the next day to the Uros Islands - freaky floating island i nthe middle of the lake (the highest navigable lake in the world) that are totally man-made out of reeds. Apparently they were built by tribes fleeing the Incas; now they sell people like me unnecessary but desirable tourist tat. Also v good spongy surface for generally mucking about, doing tank rolls etc. The day we got to Puno was also the day that the Weaseleys were born: our bottle of Ron and Gin(ny)...geddit? boom boom (sorry).... Spent my last Peruvuan sols setting a new record for pastry consumption - empanadas are amazingly yummy little things. Five and counting...
Quick! Go to the next post as I am going to Bolivia!
