Puno and the Islas Flotantes, Peru







Puno is said to be a horrible town, but Jessica and I quite liked it. Cheap not too horrible food, nice people, hot water and quite a lively centre. We were only there 1 night and then in the morning headed to the Floating Islands on Lake Titicaca - the largest high altitude lake in the world or something. The Islas Flotantes are weird. And the trip there is disneyland like touristy but it was interesting none the less. Apparantly people (Amayara people) have lived there for 100s of years and they build the "land" from reedst that grow in the lake. Half a day was definitely enough, especially when they started singing English nursery rhymes to us! Onto Bolivia we quickly thought....
