Back for another visit! Just saw that Lake Baikal is on, or is close to the route of the Trans-Siberian railway. That would be quite a trip!

Thank you Birgit for showing us this magnificent place! I had to visit Irkutsk and see the Baikal in my business trip these days, but unfortunately it failed because of lack of money in our university. Pity! May be next time...
