Tschou zaeme,
After the time in the Jungle was time to leave in directions to Peru. 
There is one more area in Bolivia witch was very nice as well. The famous lake titicaca.
The town in Bolivia called Copacabana. It is locatet direct on the lake.

 On the 6th of august is in Bolivia independents day. That means in Bolivia one week fiestas, fireworks and processions. This here was on the Isla de Sol.
 Isla del Sol has a couple of nice beaches. The temperatur of the water is cold. Of course of almost 4000 Meter over Sealevel. For to chillout is the place good.
We took the ferry to the north part and walked down to the southpart of the island. This route passed a couple of interessing inca stuff.

 The second night was by a family on the way. I stayd in their ground and had the help from this girl.
