This was the day we finally got to Bolivia.
This is a place you can not miss out, first of all because you pass it while traveling by road, but secondly beacuse the sunsets of Isla del Sol must be up with the best in the world.
If not the best.
Thankfully we got all this information already, beacuse a feww days before setting off to Bolivia, we lost its lonely planet.
A shame of occupying precious space all the way only to loose it on the moment supreme ...
Copacobana itself was alright, not too bad.
We stayed in this nice hotel/ hostel.
This is also where we celebrated our St.Nic day.
After reading the poems and exchanging presents our Australian amigos came to our room.
Leighton was there after his frustrating mission in Cusco.
He promised now to listen to us...
Thanks mate, is was only to his best interest ...
It was funny, because I got 1 kilo of chocolat from Raaf.
Very good call cause he knows I love chocolat.
There was only 1 'if'.
It was pure cacao.
I had a bite and just had to spit it out.
Not that our Aussie friends realised what happened cause they were well up for a nice bite of chocolat.
Thankfully we had a toilet on our rooom ...
Enough of this, one great thing of Copacabana is the view from the 'top', known as the Virgin of Copacabana.
You can walk all the way to a little mountaintop and view the lake along with Isla del Sol.
I stayed there with Antony for a long time while having a deep conversation about life.
It was really nice and in the end we were rewarded with the best ever sunset I have seen. Amazing !! ...
The lads were around the beach and shot this picture ... oelala ...
Isla del Sol
Finally we got to Isla del Sol, the island where the first Inca was born from a rock.
We spent a night on the island itself.
The first day we walked more inlands till the summit were we had a great view of the lake and the white snowy tops of the Andes on the horizon.
It was great, these are memories.
I had a guitar and played some Crowded House songs.
Ofcourse the Aussies loved it as well ...
The views were great and the water looked pale blue.
There were also some nice sites, like the Incaico Labyrinth, a ruin but you can still get lost trying to go from one room to another ...
We've visited and ofcourse the legendary rock, the Sagrada, from where the first Inca was born.
From here the first Incas set sail to mainland and finally created their famous empire ...
A nice rock, but hard to imagine that some human is born from it ... well, he was a half God, maybe that's why ...
 Then ofcourse there was this sunset ...
I thought the night before was amazing but this was truely AWESOME ...
It was like watching a living painting.
All along the horizon the colours where changing inot the best imaginable scales ...
You had to turn your head to see it all.
Impossible to record with a picture ...
I had this song 'Satelites' from Embrace in my head.
It was like he had written it form the same place where I was sitting at that very moment.
This was and is still one of the highlight of the tour.
So plan well when you decide to go to Bolivia and Peru ...
