Lago Titicaca

well amigos, after flights got cancelled again yesterday, we regrettfully decided to flag the jungle trip (we´ve been trying to get there since thursday). The forecast for the rest of the week wasn´t looking good, and so it was unlikely we were going to make it up to Rurrenabaque to do the tour. We were going to be running out of time, and couldn´t stand to be in La Paz any longer, so we got on a bus and headed to Copacabana on Lago Titicaca, on the Bolovian/Peruvian border. Bus trip was funny, took over an hour to get out of La Paz, the outskirts just go on forever. Got a look at some of rural Bolivia - very basic as you can imagine. Copacabana is a sleepy little town, nice temperature, and good markets with hippies selling interesting jewellery, so we´re happy. Its nice to be away from the smog, exhaust fumes and honking of horns too! Last night we went to a bar to see some live blues, they were amazing - so so good. just a couple of guys, one on soprano sax and another singing and on guitar. they were very lively and it made for a great night. we had some very strong vodka and oranges, talked smack about religion and then slept like babies! Went to check out the Cathedral today, was a monstrous thing, very beautiful and elaborate. Heading out for a day tour and a night staying on Isle de la Sol (island of the sun) tomorrow, will be a good excursion so will fill you in next time... Adios!
