Yes I am in Puno !!! I got the bus at 8:30.
The following pictures are a bit blue ... must be the windows of the bus.
I have taken a few pictures from the volcanos beside Arequipa ... some of them are still active and you can not say  the difference between the clouds and the smoke ...



The road went around these volcanos and we got on the high-mountains




We passed a natural reserve where three different alpagas, lamas and another kind of animal of which the name I forgot (get it later)




Then we arrived at a first lake ...




and arrived at Juliaca for a bus-stop ... luckely this town was not on my program


After a little hour we arrived in Puno where I found a room (they lowered the price from 70 to 40dollars)
I immediately got into the little town and done all the center already: I visited the little museum ...
a gold ornament covering the complete shoulders


a golden frontal crown ...

and a golden necklace

The church


the local streets ...


and a view from the top-level of my hotel ... where I am sitting now ...


Lake Titicaca in the background.
So ... I already prepared my program for tomorrow ... with something very special ...
