Arrived at Lake Ticicaca, Peru highest navigable lake in world, this side is Peru, the opposite shore (which you can't see because we are on a bay of the lake in Puno, Peru) is Bolivia. About a couple of blocks to the left in the picture there is a large freighter, which I will investigate tomarrow after I return from my excursion of the lake to a regular island, and several floating islands where Peruvians live, fish and host tourists. Their islands would sink, if they didn't add reeds on top as older reeds decay and sink, that I want to see. Also I will ride on a native reed boat. These are the only reed boats still in operation, from when the western Pacific Islanders sailed from there ( Indonesia ???) to make their new homes here. |
