Chilling in Arequipa - Puno

At the moment have just arrived in Puno. It is on Lake Titicacca.- which i cant spell yet!
Not been up to too much.. after getting back from the colca cannyon trek i managed to waste an entire day on the internet writing it up,- mainly because my computer crashed a million times! then joined some people I have met out here in the middle of their drinking session. They had started at 2pm.
We chilled out for a while, bar hopped, got paid for to go to a hawaian party at another hostel.. which turned out to be empty.. and ended up in the most rubbish club i could possibly envisage.
The music was just... abominable.. i dont even know how to describe it! It was noise. I requested some good old D&B but the DJ claimed he listened to it all the time and loved it, but just didnt have any with him.
At the end of his 5 hour set which ended at about 4:30am.. He was being quite nice to me, and i went ahead and told him that I was less than impressed with the tunes. Then I went upstairs to the bathroom, and for the first time noticed that his head was on all the posters.-- he was one of the biggest DJs from around Peru.. specially in Arequipa from Lima to play his set. Whoops... that might have explained the excess of peruvians fighting at the door to get in! O well..
The next day i managed to be much more roductive. I visitied the monostario de Santa Catalina... which was a bloody rip off, but good to see. it used to be a convent. It was huge.. but bloody expensive. luckily, i was actaully alowed to take photos in there. Normally you can only buy postcards... and then i went to see Juanita (an incan sacrifice to the mountain god to stop the volcanos erupting, found frozen on Ampato)
The peruvians are actually a very intelligent Nation. they have this whole.. taking advantage of tourists thing down to a T.
In cusco, if you want to see ANYTHING. you have to buy a tourist ticket for 70 soles. this is like 12quid!! what a rip off.. the chances are, you will only see about 3 of the 15 things on the ticket! I had to pay so much to visit 1 thing on the sacred valley. They wont accept any less. The same thing thenm happened to me when i was going to the Colca Canyon. In order to get off the bus at any point along the bus journey to the colca cannyon you need a bloody tourist ticket. And i had to pay 35soles... and i was only going to see one thing.
Another great way they make moeny is that NO PHOTOS ANYWHERE.. so then if you want any memory of the churches, ruins etc... you have to buy bloody postcards!!!
Another thing i forgot to mention previouly was that the women round here are crazy!! When i was hiking up the incatrail.. there was a woman walking her donkey and knitting at the same time!
Then in the colca cannyon... same thing! but this time weaving wool!!!! Crazy things!
