The train is a symbol of life to me: sitting still and yet moving forward quickly. (Wolfgang Korruhn)

We have completed our longest Trans-Siberian journey. Unfortunately for Vero and me, it was probably also the last journey.

After we cleaned up, packed, and had breakfast, we set off.

However, we still had seat reservations (so it was ordinary train travel on seats and without a bed). In Irkutsk, we had a wait of many hours, during which we walked around the city a bit and ate at a 'beer house'. Unfortunately, my ribs weren't as delicious as they look in the picture...

Now we are lying in our new home, full and satisfied. Tomorrow we will go shopping and explore the city.

A little addition to our accommodation in Solzan by Lake Baikal, the Guest House Siberia. The accommodation is truly stunning and the hostess is very nice. Since my father is still planning to run the Baikal Ice Marathon, a return visit is not out of the question... ;-)

Greetings from Omsk,
