Titicaca and Poopo, heh heh......

After our time at Macchu Picchu we decided it was time to head on to Bolivia and see what it had to offer; that is, after smoke screening a couple of cops that were trying to snag some cash from us..... again. I am beginning to lose count of how many times we have had to get creative and outsmart the corrupt coppers so that we can get away with our money still in our pockets.....

When we got to the border, we had Copacabana and the Lake in our sites. Unfortunately, the border was closed for vehicles, so we had to wait till they opened the gate. But that didn't stop the locals from crossing.

Or from importing (smuggling) certain goods. - Its just a gate.

Heh heh......

Shona really loves the Panoramic photo capturer on the camera! This was our spot for a few days of R+R on the lake.

Did you expect you'd see something different from the southern hemisphere at night?

From Copacabana (and for some reason I thought this was the same place as in the song) we took a ferry to the other side of the lake. This is what the ferry looked like.

Chattin' with the locals on the ferry ride.

From here we passed through the town of Poopo (heh heh). This part of the trip was quite unbelieveable as it was at 4000m with super strong UV rays during the day and seriously freezing temperatures at night. On our way to Uyuni we slept in the desert one night and the water in our water bottle froze INSIDE THE VAN!!!!!!!!!! Man, we are back in the cold!!  Next stop Salt Flats!
