CUSCO to PUNO

---

21.5.2012



Got back to Cusco last around 10.00pm, was so wrecked didn’t even have a shower straight to bed up 6.30 to be on the road by 7.15a.m. A lot of small groups all congregated at bus station to get double decker bus to Puno. With a few stops along the way at more Inca ruins and of course a church, then lunch in in Sicuani, climbing all the way to 4335 metres, now feeling a bit headachy again and a bit of a heavy chest, we arrived in Puno around 5.30p.m. Pretty town on the edge of Lake Titicaca, which we will be exploring tomorrow. Lake Titicaca we are told is the highest navigable lake in the world, where the Uros people live. Looking forward to that. Elder took us to his mates restaurant tonight which was lovely, really wanted us to try Guinea Pig, we eat nearly anything but definitely not Guinea Pig. Had lovely grilled trout from Lake Titicaca and of course a couple of wines then home to bed to rest up for tomorrows excursion.
