Lake Baikal Liz hogging the photo call

Lake Baikalone inlet not an end

Typical spralling town

Lake Baikal - some apartments.

It goes on & on

As far as the eye can see & further

Another inlet

Some cute wooden houses, yes houses, families live in these

counted 5 people living in one of them at least

Wonder how much extra a lake side view is?

Lake Baikal - an oil train! Huge

So much waisted land seems a shame

Round the edge of Lake Baikal

Round Baikal towards Ulan Ude

we leave the shores of Lake Baikal and the sun comes out - typical!!

The beast still holding up well NOT changed a wheel yet

Liz just could not wait any longer

Towards Ulan Ude!

Getting misty again

Hmm must clean the screen

More standing water

Getting more & more like I imagened Mongolia

Ulan Ude!

Towards the border! - crossing a single file bridge made out of metal sheets - the water was flowing really fast. But the car that came towards us managed ok!!!

Hmm should hold our wait after all not eaten much

Looks deep

The old bridge surpose just going to be left to rot

Made it - everywhere is much sandier and so half the road is covered leaving a single track up the middle.

Beautiful scenery.

Graham trying to take a pic of me having a wee - luckily I'd lost weight by this point and I've become almost invisible!
