After that so very wonderful weekend on the lake, we came knack to Puno...to return to Qusco the following day...
A hot shower and bathroom were high priority before we went off to look at the shops, for dinner... and a drink
The restaurant was nice and cosy with a fire....
The pub Rock and Regea had excellent music...Mlevi has now graduated to drinking the large Cusquena...same as 2 small ones....
Getting back to the hotel, just before 9 and looking forward to 3 hours sleep...was not to be!!!
The receptionists knocked on the door to say we must leave "NOW!!!!" The protestors were gong to block the road to Cusco...so God knew when the next transport out of Puno would be...
Wow, talk of action, in 5 minutes we were outa there....and at the bus station...only to find there was no space on the tourist bus that night....after hassling (my mate did that) we got no where...tempers were flying by now..tourists were panicking
Eventually we bought a ticket on the regular bus..... The bus terminal is very well set up compared to Mlevi's Machakos bus terminal...
After the confusion of getting on the wrong bus....we set off at 10.40pm...let's just say...it was basic...the real thing....All huddled up, we roughed it until we arrived at 6.30...and thank god for that...these roads are not a joke..windy and narrow
....Went into Puno in style but literally Fled from it....
The protests are getting stronger each day... as the elections approach....this could be the reason they are intensifying..... Let's hope for the best....
Kesho it's back to class and a normal few weeks or so before
the next epic adventure to MACCHU PICHHU
