Up early and excited about the trip moving onto Bolivia. The hostel owner had kindly bought our bus tickets for us and we made it to the bus station for our relatively short 3 and a half hour bus journey to the border and Copacabana. It was our first taste of a Bolivian bus. It was white on the outside and brown on the inside, right out of the 70s. Sweet. Fairwell luxury buses of Peru.

This was our first border crossing by foot on our trip and it was quite fun and ran relatively smoothly. We got the the Peruvian border control, jumped off the bus, got exit stamps, walked a couple of hundred metres up the road and got entrance stamps in Bolvia. We then ha to take all our bags off the bus we had arrived on and were transported to little minibuses to take us to Copacabana. A little odd but it all worked out ok.

We drove another 10 minutes and we were at Copacabana, Bolivia, next to the cristal clear, sapphire waters of Lake Titicaca.
