We have just arrived in Cuzco, Peru after spending a magnificent week in Bolivia. We left Chile and headed straight for La Paz. We didn´t know what to expect but the worlds highest city was quite amazing, lots of arts and crafts stalls, galleries and museums. Nadia was loving it. Everything was about 4 times cheaper than Chile so we took advantage of that and starting collecting some trinkets. The traffic was out of control, we were constantly on guard. Seems that pedestrian crossings are purely there to decorate the streets!
Next it was off to Copacabana on the banks of Lake Titicaca. We spent 3 days here just sight seeing and being real tourists for a change. We finally found some good vegetarian food and took advantage. Don´t get me wrong, I love meat but I´m definately over it now! It was a really picturesque spot on Titicaca but we had to hit the road for cuzco a bit sooner than we hoped due to bookings for our Machu Picchu adventure which starts tommorrow.
The altitude definately takes its toll on you up here, I´ll let you know how we handle trekking the ruins and all those steps when we are done but right now it is Nadia´s birthday so we are going to party it up! Peru style.
