巴士開得很快，清晨五時便來到 Puno ，剛好有位大叔在車站推銷往 Lake Titicaca 的半天遊，見價錢合理，順勢跟著他走到一間旅館，花 20 bs ( 約港幣 23元 ) 租間三人房，小睡數小時，待九時參加半天船河，遊的的喀喀湖。
的的喀喀湖是世上海拔最高的大湖 (高約3800，面積是香港的 8 倍!)，橫跨秘魯和玻利維亞，湖上最大的特色是有數十個用蘆葦建成的浮島，當地居民就是生活在這些浮島上，而島的房屋和傢俱，均是用蘆葦建成。通常每個浮島均住著同姓的一個家庭。
每個浮島都有各自的名字，我們參觀的是 Isla Manco Capac。
導遊跟島主為我們介紹浮島的興建，原來是先要到幾十公里以外取陸上泥土，把它們曬乾後，造成大塊泥磚。把數十塊大泥磚紥緊，四邊用蠅固定在海床，然後在泥磚上方舖上厚厚的乾蘆葦便可。
由於蘆葦浸水太久會發霉，所以居民約隔四十天便要在上方蓋一層新的蘆葦草，避免浮島「溶掉」，懶一點也全家沒命！
可愛的浮島小模型。
每遊客花 10 soles ( 約 3.3 美元 ) 坐當地的蘆葦船在湖上遊遊船河。
新鮮蘆葦的根部還可以吃，味道頗清甜!
加了動物頭的蘆葦船，看上去有點像龍舟呢！
遊畢的的喀喀，見 Puno 沒甚麼好玩的地方，下午便立即乘過境巴士往的的喀喀湖另一端的玻利維亞小鎮 Copacabana ( 半天船河加過境巴士，每人 40 soles，約 13 美元 ) 。
先前聽說，自從去年玻國收緊了讓中國人入境的消息（ 好像說因為很多中國人偷渡入境或逾期居留打黑工 ），有些香港人拿著特區護照不得其門而入。我們便在出發前特意花千多元，到英國領事館拿回 BNO ，好等入境成功率高一點。
當玻國關員見我們是中國人，也說中國人入境會有點危險，他沒說明甚麼危險，是被拒諸門外，還是甚麼的，總之，他見我們拿著 BNO，算半個英國人，便笑笑口給我們蓋印了！YEAH！成功過關！算沒白花那千多元的護照費！
來到玻利維亞的第一個小鎮，第一件感受到的是房租便直了不少，每人花約港幣 23 元，便可合租一個三人房（不連衛生間），差不多是秘魯的一半價錢！此後我們能否稍為放開警戒，淫逸一番呢？（查實物價高還是低，我們似乎也找到可以淫逸淫逸的藉口，嘩！）

蘆葦船很特別!
Hi Janice, 你這旅程好好啊 .. ... 還未
完哩~ 真羨慕啊 !!!
這旅程是怎樣編排的? 資料搜集一定很多吧。可分享一下嗎?
無意中找到你這個blog，更bookmark了!
Tony
Gao, yes, it really looks like our dragon boat but bigger, it´s fun get into it and enjoy some time in the lake!
Tony, thanks for your message.
When I decided to go for about four months here, it´s really a problem to find information. You know, there´re so many countries in South America, it´s difficult to plan the route. But things get more easily with the travelling bible, Lonely Planet(Shoestring to South America). And you can even get a chinese version of this book (newly published in 2008) in some simplified-chinese bookstores in Mongkok.
During the trip, we also visit the forum of www.lonelyplanet.com frequently to get updated news from other tourists. It´s really helpful espeically when we are looking for hostals or tours.
Hope this can help and if you want more info about the countries i visited, you are very welcomed to email me at any time.
Thank you so much for yr informations! It looks very helpful and useful. I'll have a look of it.. ..
What about the budget? How much you expected to spend in this trip? You know, it is a very critical things I have to consider .. .. hehe!!
I love the place which have a RED wall you visited.. .. coz I love shooting.. .. and the wall is very eye catching!!!
Anyway, very nice to see you and hope you enjoy this wonderful trip.

Hi, Tony,
Yes, budget thing is really a big issue for this trip. The flight already costed me about $15,000, for taking the cheapest airline, Delta. And we planned to spend around HK$55,000 in 4.5 months here.
And if you are not in a hurry, I can make you a list of how much we spend in each country after the trip. Are you going to come here soon?
Yes, i love to take photos as well, i love the red walls of the monastery in Peru. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my photo album and i uploaded more photos on it.
Any questions, pls feel free to leave me message here or send me email: janice_cwy@hotmail.com
=)
