Quantum of Caca Part 4

Not Lake Titicaca. The bus ride there was beautiful though. I was great to never have to be in the volunteer house again too. I could breath better immediately.
Lake Titicaca, yes.

We trekked all over town looking for a hostel and eventually got in a new, fancy one for 2/3 off the price.

The guide books were not helpful in booking to trip to the islands of Titicaca. They said the tours really took advantage of the islands but neglected to explain how to do it without them. So, we just went down to the docks and it all worked out. Yeah.

The first group of islands were man-made. They made a neat little model explaining how. Neat! How!

We were going to go on a boat ride, but then they decided we needed to leave early for the next island. Oh well.

At least those guys got to try out the boats.

These islands were extremely touristy and had all these gimmicks to get your money. They got none of my money, but 2 of my hats. My cool Indiana Jones hat went in the lake and my new knit hat went in a taxi later.

The crazy Israeli soldier told us the islands were boring. What the Hell? I wish we could have stayed for days!

Everybody there was knitting. Knitting while walking, knitting while driving the boat, knitting while playing soccer... it was crazy!

Notice our new fancy backpack that can't carry anything of weight. Dang it, it was such a good deal.

The school.

These kids were posing. Kids here will hound you to take there picture for un sol.

Another cool door.

That night, back in Puno, Jacob took the Cuy Plunge and was frustrated. There isn't much meat on those guys.

And that was the last time anyone saw my hat alive (yet injured).

Then we took what we thought would be a nice overnight bus to Cuzco. It was not, boy howdy! Freeezing. Second worst ever (Cuenca back to Quito was worse). At least we all had sweaters. For some reason though, it kept stopping to let police get on and take people off the bus only to let them back on later. Oh and one guy slept below with the luggage. I think they may have been looking for him, haha! At some point during the ride our new camera broke too, but I quickly found I guy in Cuzco to fix it, YEAH!.
