Lak Titicaca and Bolivia

We were a little misled today as our itinerary said a full days lake crossing when in fact it began with a two hour bus trip during which we changed buses and went through Peruvian and Bolivian customs and immigration. This was fairly painless though comical as there was a ceremony going on at the border so we had to skirt the participants to make our way on foot to the Bolivian border control.The bus then continued on to Copacabana (not the real one) where we boarded a large catamaran for Island of the Sun on Lake Titicaca. A two hour tour of Sun island, which included 203 steps up. We saw the fountain of youth, it didn't work but, a display in an under ground gallery and right at the top, for a small fee there was an old man who conducted a ceremony which called on the spirits of the earth to bless us. Back down the steps to a smaller catamaran on which we were served lunch as we headed toward La Paz. The cat landed at an unremembered wharf and we continued our journey to La Paz in yet another bus. Arrived in La Paz about 7.30 at The Presidente 5 star hotel,14 floor, great.
