Russia Day 13

Back in Irkutsk

Arriving back in Irkutsk, we now had the rest of the day to explore - with nothing much really to see.

Russia Day 8

Trans-Siberian Express

Boarding the Trans-Siberian Express, we began our overnight journey to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia.

Russia Day 7

Listvyanka

Today we saw the wooden buildings of the 'Taltsy Museum of Wooden Architecture and Ethnography' in the pouring rain, and visited Listvyanka and Lake Bailkal.

Russia Day 6

Into Siberia

It was colder in Siberia, but this was our boarding point for the Trans-Siberian Railway - of course we'd need to explore here a bit first.
