Day 40: Puno, Peru

We are here in Puno for one day before we head to the islands of Lake Titicaca tomorrow. On one of the islands, we will be staying with a Quechan family. It should be really interesting. After Lake Titicaca we are going to Bolivia, so we had to organize our visas at the Bolivian consulant here. One thing for sure is, they don´t make it easy for Americans to get into Bolivia. On top of paying to enter the country they need copies of documents as well as a picture of each of us a certain size. We ran back and forth from the consulant to the bank, to the photoshop and an internet cafe. Two hours later we handed in about 10 pieces of paper for a stamp on our passports. Quite exhausting; therefore we are going to relax for the rest of the day while I recover for a bit of a head cold. My body doesn´t like bounching from extreme humidity to an extremely dry climate at 3,800 meters.
