Lake Titikaka

We took a motor boat out on the massive lake TitiKaka which joins Peru and Bolivia. It was so incredibly huge that it seemed as though we were on a very calm sea. About 160km one way and 65 km the other! with islands inhabited by villages of over 2000 people each! Not to mention the smaller islands that are built upon reeds and literally float with anchors around them so they dont float away. Great for quarrels apparently as they agree they all own the human made floating islands therefore it only fair to cut it right down the middle, use a motorboat to push them apart and start again as two! hillarious!
we went on a reed boat that was made literally two seconds before we stepped on and climbed the shoddy ladder but all was good. we later travelled 3hours by boat to the island where we stayed with a local family. again me and Louise paired up which is good cos lets face it my spanish aint got muuuuuch better. we ate with them and slept in their houses ans dressed up in their cultural dress and attended the local party and danced their dances.! hillarious might but the dances very boring! we got some things to teach them me thinks! so back in Peru now, staying in Puno where we will leave tomorrow on the big yellow truck and cross the border into Bolivia. Peru was very cool and some of my best memories have come from there but for the now i am ready for Bolivia! Bring it on and hope for no road blocks due to protests!!!!!!!!PS computer no loes lots of photos but will try add on randomly which will go before this blog entry. DOH!
