Hi all went and been to Irkuts and lake Baikal, and had a great time we went by train from Ekat, and we went on the 25th of may and arrived there on the 27th. It is a great experance to travel such a distance by train, and it is very relaxed.But lots of people wrote about already!!
As you know, I live and work in Russia for a while, and my husband Albert came and visit me, and that is the reason we we went on a holiday here. He to liked it very much. As we both did.
From Ekat to irkuts it is 3300 km, and if you are lucky, like us, you have the compartment for yourselfs, but on the way back we had to share and this was great to.
I can tell a lot about the city but the most things you can read on internet or in the guide books, so I just will tel about what we did and again we liked it very much.
