We get off the train in Irkutsk and are whisked away to the village of Listvyanka which is on the shore of Lake Baikal
We are staying in a beautiful wooden hotel in a valley which leads down to the lake
A little hillside chappel next to the lake
Russia's version of a beach resort
Locals selling clothes to tourists and smoking fish from the lake
We has a little trip out on the middle boat.
The water was really clear
Views of the village from out boat
I had omal from the lake for dinner, I didn't realise it would be served raw but it was delicious
