Bolivia: Copacabana

Bolivian Sailors, hihi..

Yesterday we booked bus tickets to Copacabana. That is the Bolivian Copacabana that is right besides the great Titicaca Lake. The bus came actually to the hostel to pick us up early in the morning, that way we did not have to go to the terminal. It is supposedly to be a little dodgy at this hour. Well, and of course, to be picked up at the hotel for almost nothing is a no brainer.

Well, it took a couple of hours to get to this famous river that separates Copacabana. There we had to cross it by boat since there is no bridge. The bus would cross on a raft and we would take a small boat. After a while of waiting for our bus to arrive (the raft took way longer than our boat) we boarded the bus again and off we went to Copacabana. The driver announced that if we stayed at the SommethingSommething hotel, we could get a super discount. So we decided to take it. It was super cheap for a hotel. Even cheaper than most hostels we’d been to. Well, to make the story short, we went to the hotel, booked a few nights and went around Copacabana to see what’s what.

Nice view, uh...

Titicaca sunset.

The day passed by and we managed to book a tour for tomorrow. We wanted to see Isla Grande. It’s an island in the middle of Lake Titicaca. Later on it was dinner time and we went to this restaurant that served Pasta. Nathy wanted Alfredo dish and so did I. Man, the pasta they gave us was, well…. Just sad… It was like a knife through the heart. Well, we ate fast and vanished. Let’s hope tomorrow’s dinner would improve.

Next up…

Lake Titicaca & Isla Del Sol.
