Copacabana

​In Cusco we decided to skip the rest of the south of Peru, since the people were a lot less friendly than in the north and it was a lot more expensive. We took a bus to Puno and from there we went over the border to Copacabana, Bolivia. Copacabana is a very touristy city and more then once we got offered weed and other drugs in the street. But after Cusco the weather was a nice difference since the sun was shining most of the days and it was very hot.

From Copacabana we took a day trip to the isla del Sol and hiked around the small island. We also went to the folklore museum and took some walks along the lake. And of course we just relaxed in the sun. From the top of the hostel we had an amazing view of the sunset over the lake and one time we went up to the mountain right next to the city from where we could see a lot of the countryside around the city.

On new years eve we walked around town, bought a bottle of champagne and spent midnight on the roof of the hostel with a Bolivian family. From there we could see the fireworks all around town.

The highlight of our stay was the blessing of cars on the Sunday we arrived, which is apparently very important for locals. For us it was just strange.

The next stop is the capital of Bolivia, La Paz. We hope to catch the new star wars movie there ☺
