Lake Titicaca day 2

We woke up at 430 am to hike to the top of the mountain and watch sunrise.  Not sure what the elevation is here, but since this lake is one of the highest in the world and its way higher than Cusco,  a hike of this magnitude left me huffing and puffing like an asthmatic.  Our guide was the nine year old boy who´s family we stayed with. 

Moon going down during our hike.

Daan, with Oliver, our nine year old guide.  The families make all of these hats and hand woven coats, scarves, etc.  I bought one as it seems like a good way to support the families.

The much deserved sunrise. 

Me with my two school friends, Katherine and Daan.

Cool church on the way back down.

A view of Taquile, another island we visited.

When we arrived back in Puno, we had about 4 hours to kill before catching our bus.  We hung out in some of the local bars and restaurants.  Including this karaoke bar.  learned a small lesson here - La Bomba, is a very different song from La Bamba.  When all else fails and you can´t sing along with the Spanish song that you don´t know - dance with the locals.
