Novosibirsk to Irkutsk

---

Next on to Irkutsk.

Joined by 4 fun Russian girls one of which spoke good English, and kept us entertained with Vodka and their card game which made no sense as the rules seem to change every hand.

They stopped off half way to allow Olga and Andre on to join us. Olga was a grumpy witch straight from the Russian shot put team, she spent the whole journey in the corridor ignoring us. Andre was a good lad though and joined in the card games and had a few beers with us a shared his fantastic meat balls his daughters had made for the journey for him. Sadly he smelt and snored like Shrek adding to Olgas farting which made for a very pleasant night.

Irkutsk similar to Novosibirsk didn't have a huge amount for the traveller apart from a ton of snow.

Beers of the week : Baltika 9 - the Russian man's Stella
