Baikal Adventure
a short picture break in the mountains on our way
Bolshoe Golostnoe
first sight of the great Lake
through the woods, a fun ride with a 4WD
a friendly dog
parking the car on the hillside
cooking lunch (the dog kept with us hoping to get his share)
Coffee made from Baikal water
geared up for the cool weather
view from an observation point...
...we climbed to pass the time waiting for our boat
our baggage
geared up for the boat ride
that turned out to be not our ride, but some fisher with some information
sun setting behind the mountain
our "Cabin in the woods" - and some chicken
warm and cozy inside
run, chicken, run
beautiful view
selfmade water tap
the ranger's house
along the shore

hiking
to a cave up in the mountain
walking in beautiful autumn forest
flipping stones
Boat ride
shore line - there were serious forest fires this summer around Lake Baikal
an island usually inhabited by cormorants, but they hid from us
the black spots were burnt by the fires this summer
landing on the beach...
...called "Babushka Beach" ("Grandmother beach")
climbing a cliff
to enjoy beautiful views
down at the beach, some interesting trees
someone forgot a kettle...
beach selfie
getting off the boat
and walking back to the ranger's place
