We left the hotel in Cusco at 8am, and made a 6 hour drive to the town of Puno, which is located on the edge of Lake Titicaca.

We stopped on the way for a small excursion to yet another Incan ruin ( starting to get ruined out by now! ), but it was nonetheless interesting, a site the Incas used as a cemetry for their Kings.

Our guide informed us that Puno was a bit rough and ready, and compared to Cusco, it was the most pleasant of places, but not too threatening. We had a meeting in the hotel with our new local guide, Percy, who would be taking us to Lake Titicaca over the weekend, so he gave us a prep talk.

The same meal club that I was in re-assembled, and we found a nice restaurant that night not far from the hotel, and then an early night. On the way to the hotel, there was a torrential downpour of rain, that took out some electricity for a couple of hours in the town.

Bags again packed, ready for a weekend stay on Lake Titicaca.
