Adiós Bolivia, Hola Peru!!

This morning we woke early in la Paz, and bid our final farewell to the vibrant city. We boarded the Bolivia hop, a little late at 7:20am and made our way through the beeping and blasting of horns as we left the city. Soon we were in the countryside making 2hr 30min journey to our first stop.

 At this stop we disembarked off the bus and watched as it was loaded onto a sketchy raft, to Bob across a small stretch lake Titicaca. 

Meanwhile we were loaded onto a slightly speedier motor boat across the same stretch, meating our coach on the other side. From here it was a short 45min drive down to the lakeside town of Copacabana. Here we had 5hrs to stretch out legs and explore. We had only 62 bolivianos ( around £6) between us to get a dinner. After extensive research of every restaurant in town we scouted out the best deal in a small local restaurant. Just 20 bolivianos (£2) for a pasta soup, trout or chicken with salad, rice and chips, followed by banana and yogurt. Pretty good price! We still had 22 Bolivians and a few hours to waste, so once again we began our research for tea and cake. At the top of the street we found a cute bakery with brownies for just 10, leaving us with 6 each to buy a cup of tea at the beach front! Perfect!! We sat drinking tea and ratting brownie putting the world to rights for around 2 and half hours!

We then hopped back on the bus for a short ride through to Peru! We passed through immigration without any hassle and boarded the Peru hop. From here we headed straight to Puno where we are staying for the next 3 nights. We arrived in Puno in the pitch black, but luckily the Bolivia hop bus paid for and sorted out taxis for us, which was perfect! We won't have internet on our homestay, as we are staying on a floating island tomorrow evening, fill you in when we are back on dry land!
