so yeah we visited lake Titikaka ... its sooo huge and beautiful! we stayed in cococabana, a small town on the edge of the lake . we went out on a peadleo! it was pretty hard work tho as the lakes at like 4,000 meters above sea level. we ate lots of trout from the lake which was amazing apart from the on the made me vomit violently all night... about a mile or so out from the town is the island of the sun it was very important to them as they also grew a lot of crops there as the lake protects it from recieving the freezing weather that affects the surrounding land. its very hilly and coverd in terraces most from the time of the incas and the two last civilisations.. we kind of wonderd of the path and got lost for an hour or so having to walk up n down the biggest hills ever! but we got to see some beautiful bays and tiny adobe huts of the local villages..

leaving coccabana we crossed the border into Peru! at the moment its pretty much the same as bolivia a bit more expensive.. were in Cuzco a very old city with pretty old buildings and plazas.
