So, I've been here in the Siberian city of Irkutsk (bar half a day at Listvyanka), since Tuesday. Tuesday I did the bulk of my sight seeing on that day. That cold, blustery day where the mercury hovered just above freezing and I encountered quite a few flurries of snow. Today it's time for the …
Howdy all fron Russia! Today I had the chance to take a day trip to Lake Baikal. I'm stay in the city of Irkutsk, which is 63km from the town of Listvyanka, so I hopped on a mini-bus today and made my way down to see the world's largest inland lake, which holds something like …
Howdy all from Russia. I've been on another long train journey. A very long journey - I left in the evening of Monday to get to Irutsk, near Lake Baikal, on Wednesday morning, so that's two nights and one day on the train. I boarded in Ulaan Baatar at around 8pm. The train was much …

Previous posts – Pretrip, Days One and Two Days Three, Four and Five So it’s time to wrap up the final stage of the tour. The final three days, plus what they classed as ‘Day Nine’, but really shouldn’t have been counted as part of the tour. As I said before. But anyways, when last …

Howdy all. Back again looking at how it was crossing South America by bus. Last week I looked at Peru and Ecuador, today I continue southward through Bolivia.
