Back home …

We actually returned last Wednesday already, but since we left again for the weekend (another wedding party) I only slowly start to feel back home again …
For those that haven’t followed the blog in detail, here’s the very short sum-up of the tour: it was simply amazing and Heike and me became engaged! Yeps!

Lake Titicaca

After a day of driving from Cusco to Puno we started our boat trip on Lake Titicaca. Visiting the floating islands (made of reed) of the Uros people we continued to Amantani island. There we had a homestay at one of the families. I joined a game of football with some tourists and locals at about 4000m above sea level. Afterwards we hiked up to one of the sacret sites on 4200 m.a.s.l. We finished the day with a dinner wth our family and a party in traditional clothing. Tofday we continued our boat trip to Taquile island and finally went back to Puno.
