John survived his mountain biking adventure (in the rain no less), and we survived our 5:45 am pickup for the bu ride to Peru. We had a 90 minute bus ride, then got on a catamaran for 3 hours until we reached Isla del Sol in the middle of Lake Titicaca ) and yes, I had the Animaniacs song about Lake Titicaca in my head the whole time). On the Island, we hiked, saw Inca Ruins, and went to a cultural center about the Aymara. Then we sailed on a reed boat before getting back on the catamaran for another hour to Copacabana, Bolivia. Ten minutes later we officially left Bolivia, and walked across the border to Peru. Another 2.5 hours driving along the lake shore and we arrived in Puno. We were able to snag the last 2 seats on a tour bus to Cuzco in the morning (our attempts to book in advance had failed). All is well.
