Passing by
In Irkutsk we only spend half a day. But that is plenty as the city is small. Nice timber houses, lovely flower arrangements in the parks and a few remarkable old churches.
We find that the food we buy in the shop is not fresh. Mould on our breakfast yogurt and old crabstick salad are few signs of the lack of food control in the city. Some …
Back to the city
After 2 days freezing our ass off by the lake, we packed up and caught the early bus into Irkutsk. The bus dropped us off in the middle of town and we had no idea where we were.

Irkutsk, Lake Baikal and Olkhon Island

“Friendly and welcoming”
Reviewed Jul 14, 2012

The staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful
