We eventually left Cusco and went to Puno (on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca) to take a day trip to some floating islands made out of reeds. We also hopped over to a normal island, Taquile, and saw some of the locals celebrating Santiago day. It was a nice day trip and made Puno worth the visit. It was an insanely cold hostel though, two of us in one single bed with five blankets, and we still had to sleep with our woolly hats on.
The next day, at silly o clock in the morning (which is becoming quite the norm), we moved on to Bolivia and stayed over night in Copacabana. We decided that, although it was nice, we wanted to get to La Paz. So off we went the next day.
La Paz is great and totally breathtaking the first time you see it. Our hostel has the best bed in the world, so we've been horizontal for most of our time here. We've figured out the next week or so however; Salar de Uyuni tomorrow for a few days, then off to the pampas to swim with pink dolphins (hopefully) and to avoid getting swallowed
by anacondas.
We've figured out that we will have spent five days in total on buses in the next two weeks, starting with a 12hr overnighter tonight. Wish us luck!
A Short and sweet blog, I could go in to the specifics of how nice the bed is and how lovely the food is that this Irish owned hostel provides, but I won't. I'm just going to turn over now and have a snooze.
Wishing you were all coming to the (-20C at night) salt desert tour.
Lots of love

Hi
Definitely an alpaca. Awesome photos of things made out of reeds - love the boat head. Keep well wrapped up and have plenty of hot toddies to keep you warm! Gwen x
