When I was at school we had a teacher who would say Titicaca" like a sort of joke name of some place that no-one really seriously went to. Well, Mr Evans, (if you´re still alive) it is a real place, and I am here.
Jon and I left Cusco yesterday on the bus and arrived in Puno yesterday. It is the highest lake in the world and stands at 13000 feet above sea level. We are getting used to high altitude now, and don't find ourselves quite so breathless and dizzy.
This morning we went out on a boat and visited some floating villages where the Quecha indians have adapted to living on rafts in the lake.
Tomorrow we are taking a bus to Arequipa.
What a fantastic time you are having! Amazing sights! Can I book you 2 to do a talk to the Group next year, please? Maggi x
