Day 92 - Day 103 (28/03/07 - 09/04/07) Our Bolivian adventure began as we crossed Lake Titikaka, from the Peruvian side to the Bolivian side, a 20 min boat ride for the passangers and a rather home-made raft ride for the bus.

Wierd things happen out here

Kate my little ballerina

Spend hours doing this but they did not come out as good as we tought.

Prize winning photo!!! (not)

hmmmm....hours of fun trying to perfect these kind of photos but little success! By the way this rum bottle, supposedly 40% proof on the label, was little more than watered down liquor, no stornger than a beer much to our dissappointment

A church for the little people of Bolivia, not made for a giant like me

The wierd and wonderful natural rock formations

Christian posing through 2 of his lucky stone formations

Blue Lake, an incredibly beautiful lake

the first of many lakes out here in this landscape, it was very photogenic

The lakes inhabitants, Flamingoes in the sulphur waters.

Wild landscape - zorro and llama´s appearing to live in harmony

View of the landscape from the jeep we toured around in for 3 days

We never got bored of looking out of the window, every half an hour the landscape changed

A stone Tree

One of many stone trees we saw, it was like a stone forest land, shaped by the wind

The Bolivian desert gang

Bolivian woman was our cook, she was very sweet

Red Lake

The water was actually red, coloured by the algaes in the water, it was hard to believe it was real

Another view of Red Lake

Freezing cold and tired on our early morning start

It´s 5am and freezing cold here as we were woken to see the geisers before the sun rose

Early morning sunset in the Bolivian desert

Natural Geishers with the moon in the background

Best seen in darkness, we stood freezing to death before the sun rose admiring the steam bubbling and rising from the earth´s core

The best bath we ever had!

In the freezing cold of the ealry morning Bolivian desert, nothing was mnore amazing than taking the plunge into these natural hotsprings!

Keeping warm as long as we could!

Another natural lake in this incredible landscape

"Indian´s Head" Bolivia!!

Anyone that´s familiar with "Indian´s Head" in Oldham, will know what we mean here!
