Listvyanka and Lake Baikal

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
