Siberia
The handsome Andrei was a young local policeman. It
seems that his wife was away doing a test of some sort in
Krasnoyarsk, so he had to look after me by himself. There was
no hot tap water, so he added some cold water to water he had
heated up, and prepared a shower using a full bucket. I
scrubbed myself clean from head to toe with Timotei.
Meanwhile, Andrei popped out to buy some piroshki and
moloko (milk). Probably because his wife was away, it seems
Andrei was planning to meet up with friends for a drink that
evening.
“Sleep tight.”
Andrei said as he left.
