Lake Titikaka

So... Here are a couple pictures from the lake. I slept on an island in the middle of nowhere... I like sunset pictures, so here are two.


Lionel posted a spoiler earlier about the danse evening. This will be the only picture allowed. Maybe the happy few will get some more in December.




I slept in a traditional village, here is a picture of our host, cooking. And yes lionel, she spoke perfect Spanish, although her parents could only speak Quechua.



This lakes reminded me of some islands in the Mediterranean sea. The biggest difference being the water temperature (which does not top 12 degrees...)



Tonight, we're getting on the night bus to Tacna, on the Chilean border... Good night!


Gustavs photos:
At last!! Here are some photos from the floating islands. While Pierre did the two day tour, I and Romina, who was visiting me, took a day tour of the floating Islands. Starting with a 30 minute boat ride in what might have been the worlds slowest boat we arrived to the first of them. We ha a look around and were told a bit about the history and continued to the second island on a tradicional reed boat. There we saw a wonderful sunset (that I for some reason can´t find in the photos) and went back to Puno.

Pierre, Si Gustav oublierait ... J'ai suggéré qu'il te demande de lui enseigner un peu de les accents grave et aigy.

Ciao,
Looks interesting, that kitchen. What kind of food did you get?

Have you crossed the border yet?

We passed the border without any problem...
I think that Jean-Yves was top commentator at that moment (but he should have already received a postcart by now I hope).

About food, it was very good. The only boring part is that it always start with a soup, which is nice for the first couple meals, but get boring after a while...

Magnus's swedish level is very representative of the average exchange student at KTH, TACK!
Jätte Precis, mycket bra... Jahaaaaaa.

Enjoy your trip in Chile! Atacama and then Bolivia - nicht wahr?

Pouic said...

Content que vous ayez passé la frontière sans soucis :)
Et pour la bouffe, la soupe, c'est très bon (et ça fait grandir ;-p )

Gustav said...

Jawohl, Atacama-Uyuni-Argentina, or something like that...

Pierre said...

Soup is great... not for every single meal though! They were even having it for breakfast...

C'est marrant, j'avais jamais vu ce lac écrit avec deux K.
En anglais-français, on pourrait même juste abréger TTKK, à condition de ne pas inverser en tétékeillekeille...

Magniful !

Pierre said...

et pourtant.... selon les locaux, c'est comme ca que ca s'ecrit!
De toute facon, ca sert a rien pour le scrabble.

Yannick said...

pas forcément ! les noms d'habitants entrent dans le dico, un jour on aura les titikakaouites...
