Uros floating islands

Situated at 3800 metres is Lake Titicaca, the worlds highest navigable lake and within that lake lies Uros floating island, the islands consists of floating soil, which reeds grew from initially and is topped with fresh reeds every 2 weeks. We saw some women in two boats moving one of the islands, it's a pretty cool place full of history.

To be fair it is a massive tourist trap but definitely worth seeing, it's interesting to see how the people out there live, they took us over to another island on a reed boat that was made with 2 litre plastic coke bottles under the reeds, this isn't part of the tour but the "president" of the island will take us over for 10 soles (just over 2 euro) and it helps them buy medical supplies, food ,etc ..fair enough says everyone except for one scabby fuck (no prizes for guessing his nationality!) that wouldn't pay it! So he just hung around that island until he was picked up, hope he was abused by the locals.

It was a good last day in Peru, we headed to the same spot as last night and I enjoyed some more baby Alpaca yum! It's raining cats & dogs here now, so hopefully we won't take the weather with us when we venture onto the other side of Lake Titicaca (Copacabana, Bolivia) which we head into tomorrow afternoon..a short bus journey away, when I say short I mean about 5 hours!
