This city with almost 600 000 people is one of the most popular stops long the Trans Siberian Railroad. Angara River run through the city and it is 70 km from the shores of Lake Baikal. The city has beautiful architecture and a cozy city center, and we can see why this is a popular stop.
We are in the middle of the city center at Baikaler Hostel, with a very friendly staff. The temperature is around – 10 C and partly snowy. There is no wind so the threes are white with snow.
After only Russian food at Baikal we went for The London Pub. Here we got pizza and lasagna while watching Ole Einar Bjørndalen win the Biathlon sprint on TV….. the evening was perfect. Next day we walked around town and looked at the nice ice sculptures that they where making in the park. In the evening we went to a Sushi restaurant for the first time since Singapore, Tiril and Lars eat their favorite, Salmon maki!!!
Tomorrow we will go back on the train for Perm.
