moved to Hotel Zurit in puno in the hope of getting some better accomadation. the last hole was $7 per night, and thiss new one is $10 per night - and what a difference! much better. took it easy all day still trying to get over my delhi-belly, just walked around puno centre. puno is nice, but it is obvious that it is a lot poorer than cusco. i just went to get some food for the 1st time in about 36 hours, so fingers crossed i´ll get some energy back, coz i´m wrecked!
we are getting a boat @ 9am tomorrow to the floating islands on lake titicaca, and will be back to our hostel @ 1pm. then a quick dash to the bus station to get a 5 hour bus to arequipa. elevation here is 3800 metres, so we´ll be returning to more normal altitudes soon - which means no more exhaustion, headaches and breathing problems - WOO HOO! (it was worth it though)
