Lake Titicaca was our next sightseeing flutter. As Nik would constantly say it was "off its t***" or "this is the t***"! Some people never grow up. We visited two townships on the lake, first was copocabana in bolivia and second was Puno in peru. Copocabana was a lovely looking town very relaxed feel but very touristy! We stayed two nights in both towns, with the middle day set on sightseeing. From copocabana we did a day trip from 8.30 till 18.00, seeing only two island (translations were island of the sun and island of the moon) Both had amazing views over the lake, it truly is one of the biggest bodys of water you would ever see. Lake Titicaca has a strong reference to the beginning of the Inca empire with these islands playing the biggest part in the creaction of the first incas. The next day it was time to push off to Puno and cross the border into Peru. Getting on the bus was hectic 30 odd seats for 50 tickets was never going to work, and throw into the mix pushy israelies (hopefully i dont offend anyone but they offend me) and you have a recipe for conflict! We got seats after a bit of push n shove. Also saw a bloke over stay his visa at the border, no worries buy the border control officer a bottle of coke and all is forgotten! Puno in Peru was alot bigger than copocabana and alot poorer! Our tour for the next day went out to the floating islands of Uros, Uros is made up of 72 islands which are floating on weed mud and 2-3m of reeds! It was a quick visit to Lake Titicaca over 6 days which we throughly enjoyed but before we new it we were back on a bus to Cusco for our assault on Machu Pichu.
