Hey, Have just come back from two days at a siberian chillout village on Lake Baikal. A welcome relief after 3 days on the train. That wasn't too bad although we did have to share our cabin with a smelly Mongolian man!! We spent most of our day eating to pass the time and talking (think the man resorted to sleeping to stay away!!) The toilets were quite bad but have taken a photo so sometime I will show you all hehehe!! The cillout village was lovely and snowy. Went snowmobiling on the Lake yesterday which was awesome. The views across the lake were also fantastic. Although we 3 girls were alot slower than the 3 english guys with us much to the instructors amusment. they kept trying to speed us up. They also don\'t have showers instead we had a sauna where you just tip water (hot) over yourselves to wash?! Have one day in town (to buy more food for the train) before getting on the train tomorrow morning. This time its only for one day until we reach Mongolia. Take care P.s couldn\'t find any siberia pictures on STA so here\'s a link so you can all see the lake (not frozen though) Sorry if it doesn't work http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://baikal.eastsib.ru/fgbt/baikal-2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://baikal.eastsib.ru/fgbt/BAT.htm&h=348&w=500&sz=10&tbnid=PZ1m94g2A6jT9M:&tbnh=88&tbnw=127&hl=en&start=8&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlake%2Bbaikal%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DX
