Dan and sara, I found yur blog site by googling 'Bolivia Rurrenbaque' 'cos I was thinking of travelling there. Your photos are amazing and it's helped me decide that I am most certainly going to go to Bolivia for a holiday and Lake Tititcaca will be another stop on the agenda - will book it tomorrow. Just wish I had as much time as you. I only have 11 days - what's your 'best of'? Must include at least 2 days lazing around near some water 'cos I need a break. Bronwyn
