We slept in until way after the sun came up (ie 0630) had breakfast and headed down the steep hill to our boat for the 1 hour trip to Taquile Island. Like all of the islands in the lake, Taquile is quite hilly. A long slog up hill followed by a longer traverse landed us in the Paza de Amas where we could view some of the unique handicrafts before lunch featuring the Andean staples of rice and potatoes (because one carbohydrate is never enough).

The boat came around to the other side of the island and there were 550+ steps between us and the boat. All down hill luckily. This was followed by another 3 hour boat trip back to Puno. We had dinner at another nice restaurant before having an early night.
