First days in Peru have been up and down, from feeling great to being stuck in bed sick. Still been able to visit some interesting places. First stop after coming over the border from Bolivia was Lake Titicaca, which belongs to both countries. So obviously it was time for a boatride to explore it. First where the floating islands of Uru. They are manmade islands around 30 minutes from the mainland. The islands are pretty cool even though they are extremely touristy. I also stayed with a local family for 2 days, herding sheep, harvesting quinoa and off course playing some more high altitute football. That experience was more real than the floating islands even though it is clearly tainted by excessive tourism. But got a pretty comfy bed instead. But this morning I just finished the highlight of the trip so far. Machu Picchu!!! Still have over a week left in Peru so I will be updating soon!
