On the way to Copacobana, Bolivia. You get out of the bus, catch a boat across whilst your bus does likewise. I didn't stay in Copacabana because I wanted to go to the main inca sites sooner on La Isla del Sol.

Arriving on La Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun).

When you hit this stone it sounds exactly like metal.
Cultivated land.
Jetstar commercial.
Fence made of eucalyptus leaves.
The inca site where Wiracocha, how they name source, created existence. I met a hippy who had a head band with a crystal face on it, with no shirt and 10 necklaces on the walk here. He encouraged me to go zzzzzzzzzzmmmmm, or ommmmmm, or zuizuizuizuizuizuizuizui here "Whatever comes to you". All that came to me was "hhhhmmmmm". He called it a star gate. I don't think he'll ever be in PR.
They sacraficed llamas here. The hippy said he has slept under here before.
.....and now Puno, Peru.
First to the floating islands, literally islands made from reeds that drop anchor.
The "totora" reeds from which they make their islands and boats.
TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT
She is demonstrating how they create an island. They lay stakes in shallow reed areas then join them.
Criss cross the reeds.
Add a house and you have tax free living!
You have maintain a reed section of the island every two weeks!!
The water was 20 metres deep here. This is him showing the anchor.
It's soft and has give.
These boats only last a year!!!! For all that work.
From here my tour went on to an island renowned for its weaving men.
13,000 km to Sydney that-a-way.

I like water.
This plant is called muña. Pronounced munya. It is good for altitude and your respiratory tract. I smelled it and drank it.
