The next morning looked like the storm had never happened, so we tried to make our way to the north of the island. Unfortunately we were told that they were in the middle of a feud with the people from the south of the island, about a new hotel being planned in the north, which would take much vital tourism away from those in the south of the island (the current tourist hotspot). The people in the south had therefore blocked any tourists from going to the north either walking over the island or by boat. Not particularly nice. We therefore had to cut our visit short.
After breakfast we headed back to Copacabana, where the festival was still on. We spent some time walking through the streets looking at everyone dressed up in their carnival costumes. We then got our bus over to Puno, another town on Lake Titicaca but over the border in Peru.
It was raining when we got to Puno, but it eased off after a bit so we wandered around the town for a little before dinner. It was really pretty and the Peruvians were much friendlier than the Bolivians!
