When Rich and Andy met Max from Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere

Really this is a piece about the Isla Del Sol in Lake Titicaca but as soon as a Richard and myself got down to the jetty in Copacabana to get the boat we spotted a guy who looked just like Max (Peter Kaye) and spent some of the rest of the day trying to get pictures of him. The poor guy realised somehting was afoot later on the way back so we came clean and he agreed to pose for a pictrure with us.

As for the Sun Island, its where the Incas thought the Sun was from and is a sacred Inca Island. Basically, the water around the Island is so cold it acts as a cloud barrier so its pretty much sunny all year round. It is a fantastic place and Richard and myself had an enjoyable day hiking from one end to the other.

Copacabana in Bolivia is also a lovely town, much better to visit than Puno in Peru the otehr side of the lake which is a total dump. We spent one night there and visted the Reed Islans where idigenous people still supposedely live on Islands made of Reed in huts made of Reed going around in boats made of Reed. However, the Reed boats had exposed heavy duty plastic sheeting and the Reed huts where just for show. Now the locals live in tin huts with tin rooves and sell the same tourist tat that you can find all over South America just with different names on it.

Pictures are:

Me and Rich with Max look alike.

The others were suposed to be:
Isla Del Sol and Reed Islands but.
