The Floating Islands of Lake TiticacaLake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable (that means boats can go on it - I looked it up lol) body of water sitting at 3812m (9225ft). It's also the largest lake in South America covering 8300 sq km (2300 sq miles).I was collected at 7am and onto a bus with others. A short ride later and we were guided onto a luxurious boat. A short while after that we were told the boat ride takes 3 hours (which we all knew when booki...

Anacondas and Piranhas Looking for AnacondasBreakfast of pancakes, fruit, and omelette. A storm approached and it poured down for about 2 hours. After waiting for it to stop, we all donned our wellies (I've taken to wearing 4 sizes too big in order for them to fit round my mammoth calves!), and traipsed into the long grass in search of anacondas.
