Sun...Sun...Sun...

...over the lake
Well, I´m now in La Paz, Bolivia, after a few days at Lake Titicaca, one night in Copacabana, and one on the Isla del Sol. It was quite Ironic that we went to the Island of the Sun, on the same day as Inti Raymi (the festival of the sun), and it was cloudy. Which here is a big problem. At 3800 odd metres above seal level, if the sun is shining it´s fine and warm. When it´s not, it´s really very cold. And at night it´s even worse. Also, when it´s cloudy, the lake loses it´s stunning blue colour, and you can´t see the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

However, the next morning was beautiful clear skies, so got some nice piccies (yet again, to follow, sorry).

Tomorrow looks like we´re going to do the death road. Yey.
