The drive from La Paz to Copacabana was pretty scenic - much of it around Lake Titicaca. Paul kept stopping so he could take pictures - every time we turned a corner, the view was even better!
Getting all the way to Copacabana involved crossing the lake at Tiquina on a raft.
This was a lot easier than I expected. Where the road ended, a raft began, so we just drove straight on without even having to wait.
Having heard and read other travellers' accounts of the crossing, we were pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the raft was. Ours was the only vehicle on board, so perhaps that helped.
And so we crossed the lake. This pic of a coach going in the opposite direction captures how ridiculous our camper must have looked floating along.
Once on the other side, it was a half-hour drive to Copacabana. We camped at an out of town hostel on the edge of the lake, alongside a VW camper and a custom-built overlander driven by a couple from the Netherlands who were 3 years in to their world tour.
We were going to go to the much-raved about Isla Del Sol, but the weather forecast was thunder and lightning for the next two days, so we headed to the Peruvian border that afternoon.
