At the Copa, Co, Copacabana

BOLIVIAAAAA!!!!!

We took a boat from Copacabana to the other side of Lake Titicaca to stay the night on a beautiful Island called Isla Del Sol. We stayed in the south of the Island in a place called Yumani, at a local Bolivian womans hostel. We ate fresh ´trucha´ (trout) for lunch, and then again for dinner in nice restaurants overlooking the Lake. It was really surreal as there were also snowy mountains in the distance, that looked like theyd been photoshopped there, and were floating in the air.

In the morning we took a boat to the north of the Island, as we believed it was a common thing to walk the 3-4hour hike across the length of the island. When we got there however, it was only us on the trail. So yes, we actually did some voluntary extra hiking at 4000m altitude. But it wasnt completly pointless, as the views were incredible and it only took us 2hours 15 minutes as we´ve become such pro hikers after MP.... ;)


(By the way, I know the Barry Manilow song isn´t actually referring to THIS Copacabana!)
