Justine and Dylan’s Travel Blog

And have been for a few days… Easy to forget when you´re on holidays

Go to the Our Wedding page on the left for the details as to how to check them out.

Now in La Paz (approx 3700m above sea level) where we´ve got a few days to do as we feel. Options in this lively city include city tours, walks around the mountains outside of La Paz, witches markets, San Pedro jail, Coco leaf museum and just walking around La Paz itself (breathless of course… not because of the sights but due to the altitude; although we´re now vaguely acclimatised to the altitude after our stint around Lake Titicaca, being on the 4th floor of our hotel is still a good one to make sure your heart and lungs are still working!).

So, with so much to do I figured now would be as good a time as any to organise another case of the usual TD (traveller´s diarrheoa). Fun and games. Apart from the usual things you miss about home (showers that are hot, showers that drain, supermarkets, fridges, English programs on TV, ie the usual things…), I´m looking forward to once again getting sick for a reason (such as after eating Harry´s cooking perhaps), rather some random circumstance (which I obviously haven´t worked out yet ). Maybe it´s just nature telling me to slow down and bore people wth this blog.

Anyway, this was just day 1 (feelng much better now) so hopefully I´ll have something slightly more interesting to report over the next few days

Isla Del Sol is an island in Lake Titicaca a few hours boat ride from Copacabana. Apart from some ruins, the birthplace of the sun itself (according to locals) and more Puma shaped rocks (according to same locals), I found it´s main draw card to be the scenery.

It sounds pretty cool with some of the “mountains” on the island being over 4000m above sealevel, but of course it´s easy to forget the lake is at 3800m give or take, reducing these mountains to some pretty easy going hills and making the walk we did around it pretty straightforward. Still, nice scenery and nice not to have to deal with the neverending stairs we grew accustomed on on the Inca Trail.
