Friendly Locals By The Lake Of Titicaca
Posted On Sunday, August 27, 1995 at at 1:11 AM by AlvinAfter the journey through the Incan heartland, we visited a few inland cities like Puno along the shores of Lake Titicaca, Tequile Island and Arequipa. We met some very friendly locals who were even too shy to smile; these two fishermen/boatmen we met on our way to Tequile were very interested with my guidebook as they seemed to have recognised the Peruvian peoples described in the book and they gave each other a few knowing nods each time they turned a page.
When we finally hiked up the top of the island, we were gasping for air as it took us almost an hour of major "step-masters" and prepared us for a great dinner at the one and only restaurant on the island. Mandy met some local girls skilled in the knitting department and this was right down Mandy's hobbyland ! And away she went exchanging knitting tips and short cuts with them , good on you Mandy (and wake me up when you had finished, would ya ?).
