Irkutsk to Listvyanka via hydrofoil

Checked out of our 2 x rooms ( thanks to us double booking the same place and also having another room booked in Listvyanka we ended up with 8 beds last night!!!) and got into a dodgy looking taxi with no meter. However our serious looking taxi driver deposited us at the hydrofoil terminal in good time and didn’t even want to keep our tip.
The hydrofoil was a lovely hour up the Angara River Into the main basin of Lake Baikal.
It deposited us 100m from our dodgy accomm at Malinovka Inn so we weren’t complaining.
Lake Baikal greeted us with pure sunshine and a lovely temperature... and no wind!Read more
