So... What next?

By the time we arrived in Puno until the following morning that we'd start the tour, we had a good few hours to spend and we spent it very wisely; we slept and we ate very well! :)

Apart from the hotel in which I bargained one hell of a price, we discovered two gems of the culinary category. First it was Sayary, a small, local-looking restaurant, outside the whole touristy hype with great prices, relaxed atmosphere, great food and HUGE portions!



That was only the beginning though, because while looking for a good dosage of chocolate we found... COLORS (dramatic music here please)!! This was not Puno. This was not Peru. It was an oasis in the middle of the desert. It was a fluffy couch in the middle of a construction site. We could not believe this place.

To start with, it was classy. It wasn't run down and it wasn't cheesy. Design chairs and sofas, nicely decorated lighting, a semi-transparent staircase... And what started off as a joke, became reality. It had wireless internet! It was a place to relax for hours.



And then the menu comes. What it this?? What do you mean you provide a lamb dish with tzatziki?? Why am I seeing the word "saganaki" in a restaurant's menu in Peru? What are all these thai curry based creations?? Marquise de chocolate for desert???? My pills!!! Of course I asked the waitress about all this and it all made sense. The chef is Greek. A lady who left Greece at some point and moved here and apparently built the menu of this restaurant! Incredible! I really wanted to have a chat with her, but unfortunately she was in Lima at the time...

Oh well. I'll just... You know... Sit back and have another marquise de chocolate with my cappuccino! I'm just stocking up before tomorrow's tour, that's all!
