I arrived in La Paz at about 7 am. I then looked for a bus ticket to Puno at 8.30 am. I wanted to go to Puno instead of Cusco directly because firstly, I still had some time, and secondly, a fellow traveller informed me that there is a festival in Puno tomorrow, celebrating the arrival of the first Incas, Manco Kapac and Mama Ocllo, from the Sun and the Moon Islands on Lake Titicaca to shore, to look for the foundation of the Inca empire which would be Cusco.
At about 11 am the bus stopped at the border for the usual customs and immigration checks, and I arrived in Puno at about 2.00 pm. I went to my hostel, brushed my teeth and took a nice long shower (this felt really good after 2 days of not brushing teeth and not showering) and walked around the town of Puno for a bit.
Then dinner at a small diner like place, and back to my hostel for a good nights's sleep. After 2 nights of sleeping on buses and with so much travelling on buses, I fell asleep straight away. Nothing like a bed to fall asleep on.
