Puno

Here I am back in Puno again after our home stay in Lake Titikaka. There's not much to say about Puno... Its pretty much a dry dusty hole...

Our home stay on Lake Titikaka was a great experience. First we visited a floating island and learnt how they keep the island floating and renew the reeds etc. Very interesting and beautiful, colourful people. I bought a great little tapestry there... Hope customs let it unto Oz... Anyways, then we went to another proper island and were allocated our host families. Ours was very shy but looked after as brilliantly altho I've never eaten as much potato in my life... They basically live on potato soup as the carbs keep them warm (Lake Titikaka is about 4km above sea level...) and they can grow the spuds on their own land but thank god they gave us pancakes for brekky!!!

Tonight we are back in Puno and we'll be leaving for Copacabana BOLIVIA tomorrow and then La Paz before the tour is all over... Really looking forward to Mexico!!!
