One night in Puno
... br> 4th Dec
Up bright and early again. Another bus form Puno to Cusco. This bus is called the Inca Express. We make a few stops to see some sights in the small villages on the way. Lunch was fantastic, and included in the bus fare. After a few more very interesting stops we arrive in Cusco.

Homestay of sorts and dress up dancing
... away. The dances consisted of dancing around in a circle for a while, before turning into something like the conga, getting faster and faster until someone was thrown out of the line and into the watching crowd like a missile.
After so much fun we headed back to the homestay for some sleep, before having to wake up at stupid-o’clock, so we could get back on the boat and head very slowly to another island.
