Trips
On our second day in Puno we decided to take a full-day tour of Lake Titicaca and the Uros Floating islands, which meant that we needed to wake up early so that we didn’t miss the bus picking us up and bringing us to the dock.There were maybe about 25 of us total on the tour, including the guide and driver. We started with a stop on one of the Uros Floating...
On our last day, we finally took the archipelago ferry tour, which
definitely makes you want to buy a summer home on a small island only
accessible by sailboat.
On Friday, we took a ferry to Skansen, an outdoor zoo/park. The zoo was
incredible, there were lemurs running around at your feet and vampire

party, where you sit around and eat crawfish and drink beer. I...
This day was ideal for GPS tracking and Geotagging. First, we took a
ferry to Drottningholm, where the royal palace is. We were able to see

boat ride, we walked through the gardens of the palace including an

they had all sorts of high-tech (for the time) stage devices for change
scenes and trap doors. We...
What a beautiful day in Cassis. I went with my family to Cassis where we had a quick lunch before hopping on a boat for an amazing ride near the Calanques. The water was so blue and the water felt great when it hit the face. The cliffs sure were beautiful!
The next day, we took a ferry to the Vasa museum. The Vasa was a huge
warship built in the 1700s which didn’t even make it out of the harbor
before it sank to the bottom. They had to saw of the mast so that other
boats could still sail over it. About 50 years ago, it was found again,
almost perfectly preserved (due to the lower salt levels in the Baltic
Sea). There was a huge...
