After Arica,Chile we ride 20 km to Peru border line.It takes 3 hours for us at Peru custom.We were lucky that we meet one custom officer who speak english and help us.Thanks Jonathan!
It takes time because they have to put all technical information about bikes to their computer system.
We also needed to buy some papers what we need at Peru custom and where do sell these papers,local cafeteria!Little bit different back home.Any after that we start to ride to Puno.It is about 500 km.First 200 km was straight road.Then we take small brake and looked at map.We twere thinking that we have enough time to ride to Puno before dark but we were wrong.We start to climb up to the Andie mountains again.Landscape was beautiful.Good serpentine road but it takes more time than we expect.It start to be dark and start to rain and thunder too.We ride about 4800 high .We were lucky because rain and thunder stops.Rest of the ride we ride at moonlight to Puno.It was full moon and here full moon light is almost like rainy day at home.Moon is very bright.Finally we see lights of Puno and that makes us very happy.It is not so easy to ride high like that ,where they have no fences at road and it is almost 0 C cold.We found nice hotel from central ,then late dinner at local pizzeria where Amy Winehouse was singing at stereos and they serve Casterello del Diablo red wine
which is my old favorite and they make pizzas at open fire.What a great day once again!
Next day there was carneval at Puna.That was one big party.Lot of people dancing and singing.

Next day we take ferry trip to Titicaca lake.Titicaca lake is at 3800 meters high at Andie mountains.
Titicaca means green puma.If you take Titicaca map and put it up side down you can see that shape of lake is like puma.Titicaca lake is between Peru and Bolivia.Bolivia side there is Isla del Sol and Isla del la Luna.Islands of moon and sun.Old Inca people belive that their gods was living there.We visited Isla Uros ,it is floating island were Inca people lives even today.After that we we visited Isla Taquile which is island were Inca people lives.Nice one day ferry trip.
