Our last blog entry for Peru ! The stunning lake Titicaca, one of the highest lakes in the world….We arrived in Puno 3 days ago. It’s basically a border town without much interest apart from its location on the Peruvian border of lake Titicaca.We decided to do a 2 day tour of the lake islands in order to have the chance of staying a night with some of the locals.

So far so good, our plane fell out the sky for about 2 seconds leaving everyone screaming, only to land in Lima in the middle of a mud flood.
