Lake Titicaca and into Bolivia

Hi everybody! We're in La Paz - the world's highest capital city. On our way here from Cusco we stopped off at Puno and had a tour of the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca - we visited floating islands made entirely of reeds (good for moving home - you just chop your house off and float down the road), and stayed with a family on the traditional island of Amantani. They gave us funny ponchos to wear for the night hehe. I'm not sure about the traditional dance though! Bit silly.




After than we travelled all the way here to La Paz, stopping off at the Copacabana for lunch. I couldn't help annoying everyone by singing the song. And then here we are. La Paz is basically one giant street market, so we've done a lot of shopping and now have to post a big pack home cos we've no space in our bags hehe. Luckily it is ludicrously cheap here - the cheapest place we will visit I think. Let's see - pair of trousers: 2 pounds; hostal for the night: 2.50. Yay!

Yesterday we went bike riding down "the world's most dangerous road" which was great. We didn't die and we have T-shirts to prove it. Hurray. Plus we looked great in our orange tracksuits. Mmmm


Tonight we're off to Uyuni where we'll be visiting the salt flats, which are supposed to be beautiful.

Catch you on the flip-side!
