Lake Titicaca and Copacabana













Floating Islands made of reeds and Lake Titicaca - Norfolk broads with llamas..

Things to do with reeds..

You can build floating islands, churches, houses,bedroom furniture and you can eat them like bananas - only they dont taste like bananas - more like flavourless carrots. A bit pointless really unless you only have reeds..which they do.. plus lots of colourful tourist junk to sell to a captive boated-in audience.

Copacabana - Poor mans Bognor

Highlights
Lots of hills to climb to watch the sunset over the lake
Thunder and lightning display around the mountains
Pedalos with useless steering
View from 6th floor hotel room
Barry Manilow

Bad things
Walking up 6 floors of stairs every two minutes...
Dodgy electric cables all over the shower
Inca beer - tastes like coffee with three sugars
Rubbish guitar players - could be an opportunity as a rubbish guitar player myself..

Isla del Sol visit - Isle of Wight with donkeys
Supposedly the birth place of the Incas. Spectacular views with monthly llama sacrifices and a few sacred rocks that look like things if you re high. Not a lot of entertainment. Probably all nipped off to Cuzco to set up a bar or something..

It's easy to see who was writing which comments. You both definitely have your distinct "style". I laugh through
Stephen's comments and admire Becky's descriptive prose.

Love,

Dog - the bolivianos gag was laugh out loud funny. It's only taken you 17 years to have that effect on me. Until the next time...
