Into Peru - Puno

It's a five hour bus journey into Peru via the Kasani border. It's the easiest border crossing I've made so far in South America. It's green and hilly (and raining) but as I sleep most of the way, I miss the scenic views.

It's another three hours to Puno, on the edge of Lake Titacaca. I've heard Puno is a dump and first impressions seem to confirm this. On arriving I have a quick walk around the main street, calle Lima, which is full of tourists. Like me, most of them will be spending a couple of days exploring Lake Titicaca and its islands.
