How foolish it is to make plans for the whole life, since we are not even masters of the next day. (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

The Pearl of Siberia: more from Lake Baikal
Today is my 3rd day on Olkhon Island. After the trip to the north on Monday, I didn't do much on Tuesday. I sorted photos, wrote in my diary, talked to Gerri, who has arrived...

Listvyanka
A nice little village at the southwestern edge of Lake Baikal, Listvyanka offered the opportunity to just relax for two days. No excursions, no museums. Just nature views. Last...

The Villages
Idyllic like in the past
Climb the mountain or descend into the valley, go to the end of the world or around your house: you will always meet yourself on the streets of chance. (Maurice Maeterlinck)
And so we went hiking yesterday. After breakfast, we first dealt with the planning for the next few days. For this, we went back to Listvjanka and asked the tourist info. After...

The breakfast at the Country Hotel Baikal was probably the worst in our lives. For coffee, you had to pour hot water into your cup and add instant coffee. Maybe a picture to go...
