Heading over to Bolivia
We then took the slow route from Puno towards the Bolivian frontier, seeing the curious Temple of Fertility on the way. We stayed a night in Copacabana on the Bolivian side of Lake Titikaka, and then spent a day and a night on the Isla del Sol, which according to Inca mythology is where Manco Inca, the first Inca, appeared. The difference between the Bolivian and Peruvian sides was striking - the Isla del Sol was relaxing, and we could easily have stayed longer. Unfortunately, Ben was running out of holiday time, and had to head back to Los Angeles - it was really great travelling together, the farewell was an emotional moment.
