Top Spot!


Copacabana, Bolivia

Copacabana, Bolivia has got to be one of the best places we have visited so far! It is on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, which stretches like a calm blue ocean to the horizon. The town is small and very laidback, a nice change after some of the huge cities we´ve been to.

We had the good fortune of booking into an amazing hostel, La Cupula. It is perched on a hill overlooking the town, complete with hamocks and a great restaurant. Phill and I even managed to score the newly built honeymoon suite for a bargain, with a round bed! If you´re ever nearby you have to go. Martin the owner is very helpful and friendly.

We also spent a day on the Island of the Sun, which again was very peaceful. There are no cars here and the only sound that you carries across the island is the painful breying of the many local donkeys. Oh, there is one more sound - three aussie boys playing with fireworks.
