freezing cold here at night
had every warm item of clothing on plus the lama hat and gloves....freezing ! We stayed in copacabana for a few nights on the edge of lake titicaca, wasnt that nice really bit like skeggy beach full of rubbish and not that scenic there were a few nice cosy bars though.
To get to isla del sol we though we would take the scenic route and hike supposidly for 4 hours and catch a boat accross. The walk was amazing with view of lake titicaca all the way. There were a few steep bits so alot of huffing and puffing was coming from me as usuall.
Got the boat accross from somewhere beginimng with y. some old man rowed us accross it took half and hour and god did i felt sorry for him, i would have helped but i was that knackered from the hike there was no chance. got dropped off on some rocks much to my horror had to walk up hill yet agin for another hours and a half to the hostal, took us probably 8 hours in total and i moaned about 6 of then as had hurting foot swolen gum and tonsilitus so i was glad to find one of the nicest hostals with a perfect lake
bus transportation
this is how the bus travels accross lake titicaka to copacabana. not your supposed to get off and get on a passenger boat however me and hannah failed to understand this and stayed on!! view and gorgeous room to accomadate.
Ate loads of fresh lake titicaca trout here another bonus worth walking for. The sun sets were out of this world on one side and on the other side you could see snow capped mountain...perfect!
this is where the incas believe the sun was bourne or something, there was an inca path and some rouins, we didnt treck to see the ruins though as had to get the boat back the next day plus i was buggared from all that walking before and was refusing to walk no further!
