Copacabana is a nice little town, but not that special. There are a lot of Gringo (tourist) bars and agency's to visit Isla del Sol. Which we went to visit for one day; it is really beautiful but we had expected a bit more maybe... nevertheless, it was a nice daytrip, we visited some ruins and did a walk through the whole Island. The next day we went to Puno, where there is not much to do or see, except for the Floating Islands, which is quite special! Everything is built of a kind of reed, the houses, the boats, upto the Island itself, which is attached with strings to some higher Islands surrounding it, so that it doesn't float away! There is a little school on one of the Islands, the people move by boats from Island to Island, the men go fishing during the day, we were just wondering how they wash...
At the moment we are at Cuzco, which is a gorgeous town, lots of things to do, but a bit too touristy! We visited some Inca ruins today, very interesting! We met our French friends from the jungle again, with whom we will go to Machu Picchu this week!
