During this time we made a couple of trips to and from Olkhan Island in Lake Baikal. These trips were packed with adventures, such as our hotel receptionist's father making us lunch before showing off his pump-action shotgun (with definite threatening undertones), skinny-dipping in the Lake (more an inland sea) with drunk Russians, Tom's adventures falling down holes full of rusty cars, and of course hiking across the island to stay with a rather nice family who fed me and taught me to play the spoons.

And not forgetting the shrub.

Good times, but at this point, Tom decided to stay in Irkutsk, whilst I moved back west for the next phase of my adventure.
