Puno is a bustling little city by the massive lake Titicaca. this lake is 120km long i think so no small undertaking. getting their involved another long bus ride from Chivay.{everything involves a long bus here} though this time we were on our own private bus so it was a bit more relaxed. we stopped at a beautiful lake on near the top of the mountain, it gave me a chance to try our my polarising lens for my camera, so lets see if the pics turn out any good. on arrival in Puno i found that i had been given a secret closet as a room, it was hilarious, you wouldn't even realise you passed it if you didn't know where to look. it wasnt to be a big problem though as we ever spend much time in them. we ariived early after noon and we had till 7 before we had to meet up. so off we went to get traditional Peruvian pizza. after our meal we had a look round and 3 of us {on some stupid advice from me} decided to walk up 200 steps to a condor statue overlooking the city. Puno is at 3800 meters so this is no easy feat. you could hear you heart beating so much it felt like it was going to pop out. the view was worth it as you could see the whole city and the lake beyond. on the way down we caught a tuk tuk back to town which was hilarious as these 3 wheelers never seem safe.
after getting back to the hotel we went for a nice meal as a group. we heading to a rock and reggae bar, and danced and drunk our way back to the hotel. i realise i haven't mentioned the group much, the reason being is they are just a real great bunch of people. we seem to have hit gold for our group as we seem to do everything together, which no other group seems to. there is one or 2 characters but in reality i thought i might like a few of the group, when in fact they are all an amazing group of people. anyway i gtg as their is only one computer here and i have to share with the whole hotel. ciao stew
