Finally, we found a nice apartment. Hot showers 24 hours a day - that’s happiness!
We will stay here for 4 days.

The elevator opens directly into the apartment! Have you ever seen that?

I chose a small, “childlike” bedroom for myself. Even being sick is pleasant in such a room.

Serzhyk, like a king, on a huge bed.

Serzhyk went grocery shopping. He bought a bunch of things - vegetables, chicken, delicious bread.

We’re making soup. The chicken here is somehow special, maybe even home-raised at the supermarket (or maybe it isn’t chicken at all?!).
The broth turned out just superb, golden in color, and the smell!
When I was separating the meat from the leg, I realized that it was nothing like the store-bought chicken in Germany.

The meat was white, there was more of it, and there were also lots of translucent membranes.

The soup turned out wonderfully; it seemed to me this was the tastiest soup of my life.

And it was all so simple - potatoes, carrots, celery, onion.

Ready to eat soup! Serzhyk is drinking Chilean wine. I’m not allowed to, unfortunately...

I spent almost the whole day just lying there. And Serzhyk went out for short walks.
He was already getting bored in this city. But I still had absolutely no strength to keep moving on.

On the last day, we went for a little walk to the square, 15 minutes on foot from our house.
I barely made it home. But tomorrow we decided to move on to Puno.

Our dinner. Mashed potatoes, canned tuna. Avocado, tomato. So delicious!
