Sturm und Titikaka

Gar nicht soo schlecht geschlafen in dem bloeden Zimmer. Als ich duschen wollte sah ich, dass das Wasser am Duschkopf direkt elektrisch erwaermt wird. Es kam nichts raus. Die Lady vom Hotel kam mit ins Bad, legte einen 50 A Sicherung um, die so gross wie meine Handflaeche war, und meine grinsend jetzt passt es. Ich schaute mir das ganze naeher an und sah, dass die Kabel voellig unisoliert an der Wasserleitung zum Duschkopf fuehrten. Da kann ich mir ja gleich den Foen an die Badewanne legen......

Puno - Floating Islands

Having checked out of our hostal, we had to put up with a pretty frustrating morning in Copacabana as we were in and out of the many travel agents trying to establish if we would be able to get to Puno later in the day. It transpired that there were political problems in the Peruvian town of Ilave, just beyond the border, where a road block had been erected. The citizens were not permitting any vehicles to travel through their town and with no alternative thoroughfares it looked as if we migh...

A church, some more ruins and Lake Titicaca

It was clear and bright on Saturday morning as we closed the gate of our host family's home behind us for the last time and made our way to our bus. We had booked seats on the luxurious Inka Express service to Puno - a journey that would take most of the day but we would stop at a handful of interesting places along the way. There were only 9 of us tourists on the big, comfortable coach (2 Japanese, 2 Spanish, 2 Americans, 1 German and us) but our numbers were boosted by the driver, tour guid...

The Road to Puno...

From Kris again... Friday morning we woke up and checked out of the Del Prado Inn. We were leaving Cusco and had to be at the First Class Bus Terminal to catch the 7:30am bus to Puno. We walked the half block down to the Plaza De Armas and found the smallest cab in all the land. Thankfully the guy also spoke virtually no english. Couple this with the fact that I'd forgotten most of the spanish I'd ever learned (lo siento, Senor Rusch) and it was a comedy of errors. I'm still blaming my stupid...

Hello Peru

... off to the market to buy ingredients for the next 2 nights, it was so cheap and there was such a choice of cheeses and veg it was amazing! Puno is not meant to be that safe at night although it felt fine as we were near the centre and Alfredo had told us what streets were safe for night time, however as we were cooking for ourselves it didn't matter too much!

The next day we opted for only a half day tour of the floating islands, we could ...

Puno and Lake Titicaca

... we all made our way to Cusco - Nat and Roberta were feeling a bit outfaced by the prospect of ten hours in a coach and so they took a short hop in a plane to Cusco while Jim and Geoff went by coach. The first stop on our way up was the town of Pukara where we looked around a little museum about pre-inca history. We then stopped off at the highest point on our trip at 4330m where the scenery changed dramatically ...

Lake Titicaca- The Ice to My Recent Burn

... Islands. These people live on floating islands made of a grass found on the lake. This place was pretty impressive. We hopped off the boat and sat down with the people. They showed us how they made their island and huts and boats- all out of grass. I was really impressed. Appearantly, they moved out there, to the middle of the lake to escape domination and persecution from the incas. Im glad I don’t have that type of skill- the last thing I need is to perfect the craft of ...

The Altiplano

... have a different biological make up than the rest of us - they have stronger heart, bigger lungs, and much more red blood cells making their blood really dark, and almost black. I believe that. A body like mine will never survive this environment. I can barely survive a day. We walked around the island, took pictures, and bought some tourist knick knacks. It was very fascinating to see that in this part of the world, people still live this way ...

Die Lebensgrundlage der Uros Indianer stellt die Fischerei und der Vogelfang am Titicacasee, sowie die Einnahmen aus dem Tourismus dar.

Teaching English in Puno

... show the students that the English they learned could be used
right away in everyday life; that it was not just theory, but very practical
and real.



Cultural differences



The students in Peru were very meak and a little passive. Only the 13 to 15
year olds caused me some trouble sometimes, but they were easy to quiet down.
Other than that they all listened and obeyed very well, to my big ...
