Entry from: Taquile, Peru Entry Title: “Adventures on the Sacred Lake” Entry: “Trip from Puno to Lake Titicaca. We took bike limos (tuk-tuks) from the hotel to our 1950′s boat for the 3 hour boat trip across Lake Titicaca to the beautiful island of Taquile. Life there continues as it has done for hundreds of years with fishing and agriculture being pretty much the only forms of income. Apart from tourism of course. It’s strange to see mud-brick houses with solar panels and TVs. It was hard walking up the hill at high altitude but the scenery was amazing (pictures are coming soon – we are having trouble finding a place with good image manipulation programs) and we even had great fish and chips at the top. Just goes to show you can’t get that far away from home. We had a gorgeous walk down to the shore again and we bought beautiful wee earrings for Sara. Back on the boat it was another hour to Amantani island at 4000m! It was getting easier to walk up hills and we met our families and were taken to their houses where we would spend the night. A footie game was arranged between our GAP group and another GAP group and at this altitude you can forget about lighting runs down the wings.

          air travel: continental flight to Mumbai ; Air India 140 to Hyderabad; luggage question?

          Friday, January 14th, 2011

          I am flying to Hyderabad from Newark->BOM on Continental 48 and then am taking AI 140 to Hyderabad; there is a gap of about 4 hours between CO 48 arrival and AI 140 departure. Would my port of entry be Bombay or Hyderabad (where do I do customs). Do I board AI 140 at domestic terminal? I understand AI 140 comes to Bombay from NewYork. Do I need to recheck luggage in Bombay and if so can I do this in international terminal itself?
