And now to Russia. After a 30hour train journey (where the high points included yet wnother game of scrabble and an interesting tinned peach eating episode-(see pictures) we arrived in Irkusk, a town bordering Lake Baikal. Not only the worlds biggest lake (the distance from end to end is the same as that from Moscow to St Petersburg) but one which houses thousands of species, 75% of which are idig... Read Full Entry

Ok by now I'm sure you are all getting sick of me and would really appreciate some sensible comments on your blog. Tough. I'm back for more hilar Hannah humour (alliteration too, aren't you lucky) so man up and deal with it. So basics I BURST out laughing at one of Mim's lovely photo comments. '...but basically its a section of the lake that isnt frozen because it's a river' AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH a section of a frozen lake that isn't a frozen lake because it's a river. GOOD ONE. Also, the 'Mim being Mim' photo is quite possibly the best photo EVER. Closely followed by the photo of your ice tower. AHHAHAHA I LIE I LIE.. I just saw the photo 'Ugly Lilly in the bar' AHAHAHAHHAHA IT WINSSSS. And I think the fact that you all look like eskimos (though that is apparently a politically incorrect term nowadays, or so I'm told.) (also just to add to the hilarity I just wrote 'nowagays' by accident. HAH.) (Also I seem to be using a lot of brackets though I'm not sure why. I think it's because these bits have to be said in a kind of undertone, so just imagine me saying something quietly on the side before continuing with all my amazingly intelligent thoughts and views on the topic). SO (see what I did there..?) I must be off to eat soon, but I just realised that I never finished my eskimos comment because those naughty brackets are out to get me, and I have now forgotten the point I was going to make. SO I shall be off to eat and will catch up with you lovely travellers soon, don't you worry. x x x x x x
