My Journey Round The World

279 days on the road…

Copacabana

2009-10-19_bolivia-copacabanaCopacabana… Not the best city I ever saw, even if the cathedral is quite a monument – renovated for Jean-Paul II visit’ in 1988, also interesting is the small room with candles on the left side of it. Walls are totally black because of the candles smoke and full of drawing – wishing from people , and ok, the view of the Lake Titicaca from the hill El Calvario4 000 metres high! – is absolutly amasing for the sunset… My plan was to go to la Isla del Sol… Unfortunately that Sunday it was the Bolivian President election, nothing was allowed to move, bar and shop waren’t allowed to sell alcool… So nothing moved from the all day, regarding alcool it was another story!…

We were all stuck in this little paradise where I ended up with 3 friendly french couples (Perrine & Sylvain, Julie & Thibault, Anne-Laure & Jean-Francois). As we could’nt really do anything, we decided to have a big picnic with local products – avocado, bread, cheese, water melon, mangos, Bolivian Wine… in front of the Titicaca Lake! We finally had a great afternoon!!!

Bolivia

2009-12-bolivia

Well arrived in Bolivia! Lucky me I managed to get a 90 days stamp instead of 30 on my passport.

Today president election in Bolivia… Nothing was moving… Absolutely nothing… I was supposed to visit la Isla des Sol, well, we were all ready on time but stayed at Copacabana with no way of escaping this little town! Luckily it was sunny, I met 3 French couples & guess what… We had a big picnic on Lake Titicaca border, with Bolivian wine, cheese, guacamole homemade by ourselves… Nice afternoon! Let see what will happen tomorrow… :)

Thanks for your messages! I loved to read it :)
