I dithered yet more after lunch but in the end I decided to stay here tonight. I´ve bought a ticket for the 8:30am bus tomorrow, with the idea that will give me the afternoon to see a bit of the town and also sort myself out with a tour of the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca for the next day. I need to book myself a hostel online if possible now.
I checked back in at the hotel, re-packed my bags to tidy things up and gather all the food in one convenient place for examination, then consulted my map and decided I´d try to walk over to the Inca ruins at Intikala/Intinkala. (My map spells it both ways.) Hahahahaha. The map is complete fiction in the outlying areas of the town, I know this is not just due to my poor map reading as I entered one street it showed as being a normal length and joining two other streets and walked down it without a turn off for about 10 minutes, during which time it degenerated from a proper road into the sort of track you just might get a four-wheel drive vehicle down.
I saw some stones sticking out of a hill and some very minor tumbledown building, either of which may actually have been the site, although quite possibly neither was. But I have no clue. A lot of these ruins seem to require specialised knowledge just to recognise. I only realised today that the stone table I had seen at the north end of Isla del Sol is apparently an Inca relic (unless the hostel leaflet I found in my pocket while tidying up was lying).

Racing the clock
Monday 8th, 5pm
Went over to the cathedral, the museum was shut for works (if I understood correctly) but I poked my head in the door of the cathedral itself and took a few photos of the outside.
Now down at an internet cafe trying to upload more photos. I have decided I will have to compromise the backupworthiness of the uploads and upload reduced size images as I was doing before I paid for extra storage on the flickr account. A small backup is better than a full-size backup which never gets created. I will continue to upload full-size images if I should ever happen to be somewhere with a decent internet connection in my room. Hahahahaha.
Still uploading the odd video which is a bit stupid as it takes ages. Have a big load of photos uploading now which I hope will get finished in time for me to climb up that hill in time for the sunset.
Anyway, lots of new photos here as a result: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45804996@N03/sets/
