At the Copa, Copacabana...

There was a bit of confusion on the way to Copacabana when we had to get off the bus and ferry across to the other side of Lake Titicaca. Luckily the bus follwed us across on another barge, because all our bags were still on it. Nevertheless, we got there with all of our kit. We also found a really nice hotel for bugger all (about $5 a night for a room). There we also found a lot more variety in food...no more pizza and pasta for us (well, only for some meals)! Even so, we still had a little trouble. Jake, Lou and Erin decided not to eat the salad one night. Che ate the salad. Che didn´t leave the hotel room for the next 24 hours...Jake, Lou and Erin did. It was a pretty easy lesson to learn.

Apart from the raw swearage being pumped into the lake just in front of our hotel room (hence the photo taken at dusk beow - so you can´t see it bubbling up...hmmm), Copacabana was a really pleasant lakeside resort. Jake and Lou managed to get to the Island of the Sun - the birthplace of the Incas, which, judging from their photos, looked really nice. Unfortunatley we ran out of time to get there as we had to leave Jake and Lou to head to Peru, and head to Sucre ourselves to learn some Español. Hopefully we can get there on the way to Peru in Spetember...


This is just one example of Bolivia´s many very cute dogs. Despite roaming the streets by day, they all seem to have homes come night time and are all really friendly. I could have taken this one home...(after a good wash!).
