LLAMA LLAMA BUS

nothing very exciting happened today so far. we took an earl bus from Arequipa 2 Puno at the lake Titicaca. the bus was very nice but after 5.5h in it we felt like getting OUT OF IT

traditionally-dressed woman:

anyways
now just booked a trippie 2 the titicaca lake islande for 2 days - leaving early tomorrow (dont expect any posts then, theres no ELECTRICITY on the slands, not to mention internet). we`ll b sleeping at people´s home on the Amantani island - and i dont even think there will b a bathroom there, so...

first we will go to the Uros islands made of reed - made and inhabited by the Uros indians. then we´ll go the Amantani island, see some Aymara-culture ruins, spend the night there (after going to some PARTY with all the villagers and will b dressed up in tradtional Amantani gear ), then next day we´ll go to the Taquille island

The Titicaca lake itself is the highest located navigable body of water on Earth

we r now at 3800m above sea level. so far so good, i feel great (myaybe thanks to the anti-altitude sickness drugs, Chris cant breathe every now and then, but otrher than that we`re fine)

our hotel in Puno:

ok, no we`ll go buy some stuff to give the to the family we will b staying at (like candles, some fruit etc)

(Mel, your pickie with me chewing on the guinea-pig leggie is coming, we just coulnt upload them, internet so slooow)
