South America, Day 9: Puno, Peru

---

This morning we set off to visit Puno in Peru. We crossed the border in the morning, headed out through all the traffic and made it to Puno just before lunch. Puno is a really nice little town that is on Lake Titicaca. We then went out on a boat to Uros Island. It's not really an island, but a small village built on reeds that float above the water. They also have houses and boats that are also made out of reeds. It is so amazing to see!!!! It is one of my favourite places so far. Then the people on the island welcomed us into their homes and showed us the stuff they were making. After that we tried on their traditional clothing and took funny pictures! We went back to the mainland and had dinner where I tried guinea pig (which actually tasted ok!).
