Floating islands
On our first morning in Peru we woke up with an unpleasand surprise. As is became clear that the Amazone left us both a little souvenir... We both had a tick on our backs, at exactly the same spot. Allans first comment: 'we got matching ticks!' I was a little less thrilled... Luckily they both fell off later.
We took a boat to see the floating islands in Lake Titicaca (Titicaca means 'grey puma' by the way, because of the shape of the lake - like a puma - and because half of the year the water is grey).
The floating islands are really touristic, and as the lonely planet tells us ' horribly commercialized' . Still it was nice to see. We had to see the house of the chief and his wife, and I had to put on a silly hat to take a picture with them.
Then we went on to the island Taquile. It didn't have hostels and restaurants like Isla del Sol in Bolivia, but this island felt much more touristic and a bit fake.
Now we are back in Puno. This area is filled with tourists and the prizes are much higher than in Bolivia. Well, now we have to pay like 4 euro's for a main course instead of 1,50. So don't worry about us, I don't think we will starve to death...
