Seemed a bit gruesome to us
In the evening we arrived at Puno (Peru) on Lake Titicaca - It was semana santa (easter week) and there were religious parades. The following day we took bicycle taxis down to the harbour and went on a trip to the reed island - this is where people make floating reed islands, and they used to live on them. It was all a bit touristy for most of us - it seems to be a thriving business doing tours and selling thing.

Later that day we left for Bolivia and went to a small town called Copacobana just over the border, due to easter week the place was busy with fiesta.

The following day we went on a trip to the Isla del Sol (sun islands), on the way we saw a waterspout, then we walked 13k across the island, a really great day
