Internet was off at this point and all this stuff was written in a journal on paper. Why am I telling you this well it’s to point out that from Arequipa the world of Internet was a pipe dream pretty much and it was only to get worse for the next few days.I needed it really given my job and stuff. Lake Titicaca was about hanging out with Perus indiginous population and switching off my comforts for a few days. The next few days my green party friends would be happy to know were the lowest carbon burning days of my life. Although short lived admitedly as I flew home to London on a jet plane!

When dusk fell I didn’t even have electricity never mind Firefox or Twitter. It was actually a breath of fresh air from the ways of my life back home and made me realise many things about life in the west. Anyway enough of this Age of stupid stuff!

7AM we arrive at the port and got on a taxi boat. We were booked on a two day tour that took us to three stop offs.

The first is a slight tourist trap but interesting non the less. It is a set of man made floating islands where the local indiginous people hang out and pretend to live and sell pretty things. It looks like a total tourist trap but its pretty and the effort is magnificant. My photos are great. The colours are amazing and even though you can tell pretty much straight away they don’t live there its cool and a good start to our trip.

It is a short stay on the way to the two main islands we visited on our tour of the great lake:

• Amantani
• Taquile

Lake Titicaca is 3812m above sea level. It is the largest lake in south america stretching all the way from peru to Bolivia and one of the highest in the world.
