Lunch with a view

Although the climb was strenuous, once we reached the restaurant, we were rewarded with spectacular views across Lake Titicaca to snow-capped mountains in Bolivia.  We ordered very welcome cold drinks and admired the scenery while we waited for those who had done the longer walk to arrive.

Once they did, our hosts served us a delicious lunch.  We had local bread with spicy salsa as an appetiser, followed by a tasty quinoa and vegetable soup.  For main course, we had rainbow trout caught in the lake with chips, rice, and vegetables in vinaigrette.  It was all very good.

After lunch, a local girl demonstrated weaving for us.  The skill needed is incredible.  I am in awe of the textiles they produce!Read more
