Arriving in Copacabana on the southern Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca was a bit like going to the seaside - sunshine, beach, boats and a good handful of tourists, but all at 3800 metres. We spent one day visiting the islands of the sun and moon, with a long time on the ferries and a few Inca remains, but the scenery was lovely.
The Saturday we stayed in town, visited a couple of small Inca sites then went to the cathedral where we arrived as a wedding was finishing, and also a bizarre ceremony of blessing cars - Bolivian road safety! Lunch was fish and chips Lake Titicaca style. Copacabana is as romantic as it sounds! And a great end to our stay in Bolivia
Then on to Puno, just across the border in Peru. Most tourists come here to visit the floating islands but we went to the ancient pre-Inka and Inka burial site of Sillustani where the burials were in towers. Tomorrow an all-day bus ride to Cusco.
