From Puno, to La Paz

Our bus on a wee boat across Lake Titicaca

La Paz city

Yesterday (the 16th) we travelled from Puno, in Peru, across the border to La Paz, in Bolivia. This was quite a long journey (10 hours), which involved changing buses, having to get a boat across Lake Titicaca - while our bus took a different boat (which we were glad of as it was a bit on the choppy side and the bus was rocking heavily), and then travelling to La Paz city (3600 metres above sea level). La Paz was a bit chaotic at first, but luckily our hostel is tranquile and quiet. In the next couple of days we are heading off to the Bolivian jungle for a 3 day and night trek. We have a good guide, so hopefully none of the anacondas, crocodiles or pirahnnas will get us - after all we are staying in a hut - much to Debo´s delight, but we are both looking forward to it.

Will update when we get back

Love
