From Irkutsk we took a lovely long train journey along the shore of Lake Baikal up to Ulan Ude. The weather was stunning and the views of the Lake were awesome. Had we not needed to get to Mongolia, we would have been tempted to jump off and look around for a couple of days. It looks like the hills would serve up some lovely hiking.
Ulan Ude itself is pleasant without loads to see and do - the world's biggest Lenin head is its main claim to fame - it is absolutely enormous. After our last hearty Russian meal and having stocked up for our early train to Mongolia the next day, we headed to bed.
