Puno (Lake Titicaca), Peru

Hi all,

The drive from Cusco to Lake Titicaca took about 7 hours. The bus we had was a double decker with first class seats that decline 160 degrees. We had excellent seats at the front road at the second level. This meant we got a great view for the entire trip.


On the way I was listening to Harry Potter through the Audible app on my phone.  I felt very relaxed and enjoyed the views. At one time we saw a hurd of sheep and it turned out they were all Lamas and Alpacas.  We also drove through the most unofficial town / city in Peru, where there were not one completer house and dirt roads. The city with nothing completed doesn't have to pay any tax, hence why it is the most unofficial town / city. 

Arriving at Puno the view of Lake Titicaca met us at once. It is a hughe lake that we are exploring on day 2 here in Puno.  There are still plenty of unfinished buildings here and most of the city is unsafe at night. We are staying at the safe are and will keep to 5 or so streets around the hotel. We finished the day by going out to a restaurant where they serve alpaca steaks and guinea pigs.  I wasn't feeling to adventurous to try guinea pig but will try on day 2. We already had alpaca steaks in Cusco and it tasted nice.
