Copacabana.

Not the one from the song but a lovely one all the same, Copacabana sits on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca. From Puno we got a succession of cheap minibues to and from the border, the type which you have to sit and wait for 15 more people to eventually fill up and then your life's possessions are pretty much cello taped to the top, which means several stops to retrieve them from ditches and what not.  When we got there however we weren't disappointed. The lake was beautifully framed by rows of cafes offering delicious exotic foods that we had been craving for so long. It was definitely the most touristy place we had been yet (we had barely came across any at all so far as its not the season but this place was swarming with them) we were slightly relieved in some ways as it had been quite alienating at times and now we were just two of many and the locals didn't stare. We found a dirt cheap hostel and hired a swan shaped Pedlo (it was valentines day) living the dream. I was even able to shave my insanely overgrown armpits for the romantic occasion with a rusty bic, what a lucky boy. Next day we walked to the top of a huge hill which took everything out of us as the altitude was ridiculous. The view was spectacular of the lake and we watched the sunset hoping to see those infamous UFO's everyone spots there.
