On our third day in Copacabana we had really wanted to get over to Isla del Sol-the island of the sun but again we woke up to rain and snow on the surrounding hills. As the day before had started like this then cleared up to a brisk but beautiful day we though we would risk it. All rugged up and really appreciating our jackets, which pretty much until now had been packed away at the bottom of our bags, we hopped on the 8.30am boat over to the island. The boat was a bit rickety but Jake said he had seen some life jackets just in case. Nonetheless there was no way I wanted to fall into the icy lake- it was cold enough out of the water. Almost two hours later through some pretty choppy waters where the driver was steering the motor with his foot so he could stand up and see above the boat to avoid hitting any rocks we arrived into Cha'llapampa on the north side of Isla Del Sol. The island was not really living up to its name with dark rain clouds above and no rays in sight. We were planning on walking to the southern end, a 2-3 hour walk, but considering the looming clouds we thought better of it and figured we would walk the northern end check out the ruins and head back to Copacabana.
