Estamos en Peru!

Amber and I had a really great time over the last two days in Copacabana and at Lake Titicaca. We were unable to write as the internet was very expensive and it wasn't until we reached the city that we realized that the town is so small that there is no ATM (you would think with such a tourist location they would add one but that's neither here nor there...). We had to cut a night's stay out and make due with the cash that we had on us, which was enough to get us to here, Puno, Peru. We are currently sitting at the bus station waiting for our night bus to Cuzco.

Yesterday we took a boat out to Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca and attempted to hike part of it. The altitude here is so high that we can barely breath going up hills or walking fast at all. Its been rather hard but its all down hill from here as we are now decending in altitude for the remainder of our trip (Bolivia is one HIGH country!). I took some beautiful pictures, but can't post them. You'll just have to wait until we get home and I'll put them up on photobucket for you all to see.

As a side note it was entertaining traveling to Copa, Copacabana, because we had to get off our bus and take a ferry across Lake Titicaca. Our tour bus had to take a different boat. Fairly entertaining, actually...

Anyway, we are headed to Cuzco tonight and will get there at 4am tomorrow. We've arranged a hostel and then tomorrow we will arrange our tickets to Machu Picchu probably for Saturday, and our bus tickets to Arequipa.

Until Cuzco,
Katie
