We slept long today and went down for the siberian breakfast. I was looking forward to it as in Mongolia we had almost no breakfast at all. To our surprise it was already 1030 in the morning. We did not know, but we were in a different time zone again. It was now 7 hours later than CET. The breakfast was ok.

We went for a walk in the city. There was a nice geological museum. Really a lot of minerals are found here.

We went to the post to post some postcards to our friends and family. After that we saw the big Lenin head again.

We wanted to ride in the afternoon but for some reason I was really tired and had no energy. So we took a big siesta and regained our strength. This was not so good, because I was feeling stronger again afterwards to go to Yakutsk or Magadan 🙂

We have been talking with our family via skype and Larisa is really starting to miss Erik more and more. She does not have to say, I can read it in her eyes. I miss him too, but for a mother it is still different I think. Ukraine is only a country away now, but Russia is big. Our next steps will be important.

In the evening we enjoyed a nice meal and went to bed in our siberian hotel. Tomorrow I want to swim in lake Baikal!
