Copacabana / Lake Titicaca

no we are not in Rio yet! but at a small chilled out pueblo on the shore of Lake Titicaca.

Lake Titicaca is the worlds´highest navigatable lake.. what the heck does that mean? but at 3600m above the sea it´s not exactly beach weather..

We arrived from La Paz with some of the friends we met on the Salt Flats and spent the afternoon with Neil and Alison taking a look around town.. not much to see, so decided that the best thing on offer was a cold beer on the waterfront.. it was the weekend so lots of locals were out on the lake in paddle boats.. the sun was out and it almost, (almost) felt like being at the beach, although the water temp was bloody freezing..

Jazz and I walked up to the lookout at Cerro Calvarion, overlooking Copacabana and the lake and caught a nice sunset. The altitude really does make walking uphill more of a struggle than it usually would be.. said our goodbyes to Neil and Alison as they are heading onto Peru. -AC
