A slow start, but packed up & checked out by 12ish. (We had to hang around until then to make sure my guts were stable enough for the trip!). Taxis to town for a very quick lunch & we bid the boys a fond farewell. (We might see them again in Cusco. If not, it'll be in the Half Moon when we get back.) I was a little nervous & apprehensive about our trip today, but decided to just go for it. (Rach on the other hand, seemed confident that we'd be fine). ...

Picked up our packed lunches at breakfast & lazily got a taxi to town. We decided not to scum it in the end & got a private boat for £12 each, which would take us to both islands that we wanted to go to (Isla de Sol & Isla de Lunar). So the 5 of us sailed off across the sapphire blue, crystal clear lake past the slowly overfilling public boats. 2 hours later & we were on Isla de Lunar climbing the steps to the very well preserved 1st load of Inca...

This morning was chores morning. Lovely brekkie at the hostel (on our own - as we think we're the only people staying here), followed by some washing, shaving & cutting hair. We then hired bikes to ride into town. It seems my rear is not happy with riding a bike, as it's still not recovered from the Mendoza & San Pedro excursions. However we had a gorgeous fresh fish lunch for £7 for the 2 of us, whilst overlooking Lake Titicaca & then a look around ...

Another late morning with 'Friends' to wake us up & brunch at 100% Natural. A quick walk through the Witches Market & Coca Museum, followed with a pretty empty bus (& odd little ferry!) to Copacabana/Lake Titicaca. Stunning scenery surrounded us on the trip, with the huge flat crystal clear lake in the foreground and hills and snow capped mountains as a backdrop. We got to our Ecolodge (2km out of town) for about 6pm, dropped our stuff & strolled ...

Rach made the free breakfast while I lazily read for about 3 hours. There was great fun & games with the shower - boiling hot, freezing cold & then no water at all for when I was fully soaped up. In the end, I rinsed with the purest aqua mineral. 1 Skype (with the whole family) later & we got to the ridiculously packed Olivers Travels for the footie final. Not Rach & mine's cup of tea, but the atmosphere was great, with all the usual guys there &a...
