Puno-Juliaca,-Julia-Puno-Juliac-Pun-uli-Pu-PUNO PUNO PUNO, the desperate voices of women at the bus depot in Arequipa selling tickets at 4 30 in the morning. Yes you read that right, travelling in South America is no trip to the beach a lot of the time. But it is so worth it. In fact that is part of the experience, being in dusty buses; with the locals, meeting other travellers suffering from altitude sickness and listening to their experiences and tips.
Finally I am by some water again, this time Lake Titicaca.. Getting on the boat it struck me how much I have missed being by the sea again. In Indonesia I got so used to have the sea on the door step that it has been weird to be away from it again. I love being in the mountains and being surrounded by them, knowing that I can try to conquer them if I want to , but having been brough up by the sea- I am always drawn to it and need it to feel completely myself. I am sure that people who were brought up by the mountains don´t feel whole unless they are by them.
