Around the World in 80 days - not quite

Listvyanka to Irkutsk
Woke up to the rain which made having to go downstairs for an empty bathroom first thing a bit of a wake up call.
Next big disappointment of the day was I had Tokyo Olympic tickets in my basket after they were released at 9am only for the visa page to show the wheel of death for 12mins and I lost them - thank u BNZ/Visa ( yes I did have enough money on the credit card to pay for them).
After breakfast it was a 40 min walk to the bus and a sad farewell to Lake Baikal.
An hour later we were back in the big smoke of Irkutsk. Nothing much to report here except we found a “ New Zealand Pie Shop”!! A dedicated footprint to follow.
We were both relieved to be reunited with the luggage we left at the hostel and now just repacking and sorting for our TST tmrw to Ulan Ude. Sadly our Russian holiday is coming to an end in 3 days time.もっと詳しく
