Had a super 2 hour boat trip on the very southern part of Lake Baikal this morning - total blue skies. With wonderful mountains in the distance. Had lunch and a wander around a local market at Baikal Town and then saw at least four wedding celebrations. Each bride was in big white and each groom was in a shiny silver/grey polyester suit like those we wore 40 years ago. Each wedding group had a buffet meal served on the bonnet of their car in the car park opposite the main hotel, with dancing in the car park to music from the car. All very liberating and open. And unusual.
Back at the chalet/hotel this evening we have had a Russian sauna; ladies first then the guys, very steamy, very hot... five guys bashing themselves off with branches of birch leaves. Phew!
Back on the train tomorrow...
