Today started early and cold. Our night bus
that we took from Cusco to Puno arrived at 5 am and our tour of Lake Titicaca
didn't start until 7! We had time in the bus station for a little bit, and it was so cold once we arrived in Puno that I had to dig my socks and shoes out of my bag.
The guy at tour agency office asked us if this was the warmest thing we had to wear, and when we said yes- he lent us some big winter jackets. Which was really
nice, and we quickly found out that we needed.
Our tour stopped at 2 floating islands made of reeds, which were pretty cool. They tried to show us about each of their individual islands, but it sort of felt a little contrived. We still had a good time though. We also went to
Taquile Island which was awesome because they were having their festival so we
had an opportunity to see them sing and dance. Taquile Island gave us a beautiful view of the mountains across Lake Titicaca into Bolivia.
The tour was a full day and when we got back to Puno we caught a
cab to take us to our hostel. The driver had some issues finding where we
had to be, but we made it there.
