Breathing at 12,000 feet is one thing, trying to breath with 800 pounds of llama blankets crushing your chest throughout the night is another.It is cold here in Copacabana, Bolivia. It was cold in Cusco, Peru. It was really cold in Lima. But what is it with these hostels in South America and the 7 layers of thick llama byproducts that are inhabiting every bed that we sleep in? I am not kidding, we frequently wake up, fantically trying to move, but unable to free even one limb under the crushing weight (which is quite comparable to a small herd of llamas). Moving is not an option unless we make it a team effort. I guess the fear of not being able to breath throughout the night is a small price you pay to stay warm in the unheated, bone-chilling hostels.
A word on Copacabana, Laid back.It is really beautiful here on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicacca. We like it much better than the Peruvian side. It is much cheaper living as well. We splurged and got a room on the beach with a sitting nook for 12$ a night. Yeah! It is a little warmer here in the days (but the food is aweful!). We are touring one more island in Copacabana and then heading to La Paz to firgure out our next plan.
