Floating Reed Islands and another bus through the night.
Refreshed, rejuvinated, re everything. After the three hour boat ride we arrive at Las Islas Flotantes, Los Uros. I had heard about these island, but nothing compares to seeing them in person. From a distance you can see the reeds, and then you start to see that there are structures in the reeds. Then the boat rounds a corner and on both sides of what we'll call a river through the reeds there are these little community so to speak. Each island houses about 2 to three families... and each island is made of about 4meters of reeds. The Uros utilize the reed roots as the base, then the reeds (green part) as the "floor" the roots are cut into cubes (roughly about a cube meter) and then tied together, then the grass part of the reed is pilled on top... the roots keep the islands afloat and well it was truely a site unlike any other. It was like a magical fantasy world that one only sees in childrens pop up books.... Speaking of pop up books, so...
