Our first night in Puno followed the very scenic drive over the Alto Plano which we think might be the highest altitude of the trip at 4300m. Just breathing is difficult be we are rapidly aclimitising again after this jump in altitude from Cusco.
Who said Puno was boring and not worth stopping at? This was the word we had been given but when we arrived the place was in mayhem with the Festival of the Devil. Drums loud enough to split the proverbial eardrums and costumes you wouldnt belive. Following are some examples of the action. It started just as we arrived at about 7pm and was still going at 11pm when we retired.
Tim even joined in! 
So now we have just come off the waters of Lake Titticaca which was a delightful tourist trap. The trap bit is that you cant visit the floating reed islands in the lake without getting caught up in sell jobs. However, the islands themselves are quite amazing. They are very soft and spongy and you feel like you might fall through into the water at any time but you dont.
