Last hours in Bolivia

We are spending our last hours in Bolivia. At noon we get on a bus and head for Peru. We will get to Puno, Peru this evening. Our first bus border crossing together.

Yesterday we went to the University museum in Sucre. It was small but very interesting. We split from the group we had been traveling with and flew to La Paz. The taxi could not get into the Sucre airport because the LAB airline workers were blocking the entrance. They let people walk in though.

We got to La Paz and took a taxi to the bus terminal (just a storefront outside a plaza). We took a four hour bus ride to Copacabana. We could see Lake Titicaca for about an hour before we got there. It is really big and beautiful. We had to get off the bus while it went across the water and we took a launch. I first thought it was for safety but then I realized it was because the people added too much weight.

We stayed at a lovely hotel, La Cupula. Right before sunset we walked down to the lake and took a quick swim. It was cold but managable.

This morning we walked to some stones carved by the Incas. They are in a small field behind a gas station.

See you in Peru.
