A long bus ride to Puno…

After spending one last night in Cuzco, we said our farewells and headed off to meet the bus taking us to Puno. After the long 10 hour bus and bump ride, we made it, checking into the lovely “Intiqa Hotel” in the middle of the greyness that appears to be Puno.

Mind you though, what with the hotel, and a scrumptious meal at “Colours” (a restaurant recommended in the Lonely Planet) coupled with some long awaited shopping, Puno was certainly shredding its grey hue rather quickly.

Puno is the main Peruvian town that lies on the edge of Lake Titicaca. It is famous for its floating islands, which we are going to visit tomorrow. Then we have our next bus ride, to Copacabana, finally crossing the border into Bolivia. That´ll be interesting I´m sure.

Once there, we have 2 sleeps to explore all there is to see and do, including finalising our next leg which is spending time on the Amazon in eco-huts. Fabulous!
